Cloze Test Measure Survey

7. Among freshmen at a certain university, scores on the Math SAT followed the normal curve, with an average of 550 and an SD of 100.

3. The distribution of undergraduate grade point averages at a large university is approximately normal with a mean of 2.8 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

Even though these tests are time consuming they judge the education of students'. Standardized tests should not be used to judge the education of a student. The students’ scores on

Standard deviation is important in comparing two different sets of data that has the same mean score. One standard deviation may be small (1.85), where the other standard deviation score could be quite large (10)(Rumsey,

11. For each of the following, indicate whether you would use a pie, line, or bar chart, and why.

If John gets an 90 on a physics test where the mean is 85 and the standard deviation is 3, where does he stand in relation to his classmates? (he is in the top 5%, he is in the top 10%, he is in the bottom 5%, or bottom 1%)

Their scores are: 55, 47, 62, 27, 50, 49, 66, 53, 50, 44, 63, 59.

In two normal distributions, the means are 100 for group I, and 115 for group II. Can an individual in group I have a higher score than the mean score for group II? Explain.

12. For the following scores, find the mean, median, sum of squared deviations, variance, and standard deviation:

One student’s Math score was 70 and the same individual’s English score was 84. On which exam did the student

2. For the following set of scores, fill in the cells. The mean is 74.13 and the standard deviation is 9.98.

Mean would be the most appropriate measure of central tendency to describe this data. This is because the mean is the average of all scores in the data set. If Dr. Williams were to graph the data into a bell shaped distribution, then the mean would be in the center where most of the scores are located. The mean is calculated using all information of the data set, and is the best score to use if you want to predict an individual score.

4. Jake needs to score in the top 10% in order to earn a physical fitness certificate. The class mean is 78 and the standard deviation is 5.5. What raw score does he need?

The standard deviation was 20.86. For the SAT Verbal, the mean was 595.05, the median was 598.5, and the mode was 590. The standard deviation was 16.197. For the Test Anxiety Questionnaire, the mean was 24.25, the median was 23.5, and bimodal of 20 and 37. The standard deviation was 8.098.

What do students achieve from standardized testing? Achievement means something that somebody has succeeded in doing. “Achievement is more than just test scores but also includes class participation, students’
