Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item
Two groups of students took the test. One group had studied the work for two years. The other group had only just begun.
arrow_right_alt
This test was much too difficult for most people.
arrow_right_alt
In this test, the median and the mode scores were the same. There was a very big range of scores.
arrow_right_alt
This was the sort of test where you could either do everything or you couldn’t get started.
arrow_right_alt
This test resulted in a huge range of scores. Everyone could do something but nobody could do it all.
arrow_right_alt
In this test, the median score was smaller than the mode score.
arrow_right_alt
In this test, the median score was greater than the mode score.
arrow_right_alt
This test did not sort out the stronger students from the weaker ones. They all got similar scores.

Question 2
2.

Place the graphs into the categories in which they belong. Most graphs will be used twice. (Assume that the mean is a better measure of center if the graph is not skewed.)

  • The best measure of center to describe this graph is the mean.
  • The best measure of center to describe this graph is the median.
  • This frequency graph shows symmetric data.
  • This frequency graph shows data skewed to the left.
