1. Suppose that on a 100 item multiple choice test almost all students scored
between 95 and 100 but a small scattering number of participants scored as
low as 20.When plotted as a curve, the distribution will show what type of a
curve?
2. If all participants in a group have the same score, what is the value of the
standard deviation of the scores?
3. If a difference between two variables is declared to be statistically
significant, what decision is being made about the Ho?
4. The researcher commits what type of an error when she/he fails to reject
the Ho which incorrectly states that there is no difference between the
population means?
