Confidence Intervals

When we calculate intervals in probability and statistics, it can be simply termed as finding out a confidence interval. The confidence interval is usually calculated from the data set which is observed. The value of the parameter that needs to be calcul…

(a) What is the relative frequency of scores between A and B? (b) What is the relative frequency of scores between A and C? (c) What is the relative frequency of scores between B and C?(d) Rank-order A, B, C, and D to reflect the order of scores from the highest to the lowest frequency. (e) Rank-order A, B, C, and D to reflect the order of scores from the highest to the lowest score.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
