Post-Test

1. Which is the middle-most score in a skewed distribution:

  • correlation
  • median
  • mean
  • mode

2. SS is a measure of:

  • central tendency
  • stratification
  • dispersion
  • skew

3. Which statistic should you calculate to predict a future event:

  • regression
  • ANOVA
  • t-test
  • MAD

4. What do you do if the calculated value is larger than critical value:

  • portion the null
  • stratify the null
  • accept the null
  • reject the null

5. A distribution with the mean higher than the median is:

  • negatively skewed
  • positively skewed
  • bimodal
  • normal

6. Given the following information:

  •  SSx = 44.7
  • stdevY = 3
  • r = .4
  • t= 2.73

Calculate the coefficient of determination:

7. Given the following information, calculate F:

                       SS          df         ms
Between       160           2
Within          120         12
Total             280        14

F =

8. Spelling tesst use what level of measurement:

  • nominal
  • ordinal
  • interval
  • ratio

9. Variance for a sample is calculated by dividing SS by:

  • n-2
  • n-1
  • n
  • r

10. The 64th percentile corresponds which z score:

  • – 1.5
  • – 1.0
  • + 1.0
  • + 1.5

6. Given the following information:

  •  SSx = 44.7
  • stdevY = 3
  • r = .4
  • t= 2.73

Calculate the coefficient of determination: r-squared = .16

7. Given the following information, calculate F:

                       SS          df         ms
Between       160           2        80
Within          120         12.       10
Total             280        14

F = 80/10 = 8
