1. You have the following raw data of test scores:
88, 84, 89, 81, 50, 98, 72, 79, 68, 81, 85, 86, 80, 84, 57, 71, 60, 86, 81, 71, 84, 60, 85, 85, 84:
Create a frequency table with:
absolute frequencies
relative frequencies (percentages)
cumulative frequencies
cumulative percentages
2. What is the percentile rank of a score of 60 in this distribution? What is the percentile rank of a score of 88?
3. What is the test score which marks the 75th percentile? What is the test score which marks the 20th percentile?
4. Assume that partial credit/point fractions can be awarded for these raw test scores that you are working with.
What are the measures of central tendency for this distribution --please provide the numbers.
Which of them is/are appropriate to use in this instance, and why? Which measure would you use, and why?
