To organize test scores into a frequency distribution, determine and pick some convenient class intervals and tabulate the number of each score that falls into a particular class interval or step. True or false?

Answer 13

True

Question 14

Grouping test scores in a frequency distribution makes the test scores meaningful. True or false?

Question 22

This number should approach, or equal but not exceed the lowest score and is exactly divisible by the interval size.

Answer 22

lower limit

Question 23

A linear graph representing the frequency distribution of midpoints of the classes in a class frequency distribution

Answer 28

line graph or frequency polygon

Question 29

is the term given to the analysis of data that helps describe, show or summarize data in a meaningful way such that, for example, patterns might emerge from the data.

Answer 29

descriptive statistics

Question 30

Descriptive statistics do not, however, allow us to make conclusions beyond the data we have analysed or reach conclusions regarding any hypotheses we might have made. They are simply a way to describe our data. True or false?

Answer 30

True

Question 31

____ therefore enables us to present the data in a more meaningful way, which allows simpler interpretation of the data.
