Statistics Flashcards
Types of Measures of Central Tendency
Mean
Median
Mode
Most appearing (Central Tendency)
Mode
Types of mode
Unimodal, Bimodal, Trimodal/Multimodal
One mode
Unimodal
Two mode
Bimodal
Multiple mode
Trimodal
1,1,1,1
How many modes is there in the example
None
1,1,1,1,2
Unimodal
1,1,2,2,3
Bimodal
Most reliable in central tendency
Mean
Average
Mean
Easily affected by outliers
Mean
High scores
Outliers
Most reliable if there is outliers
Median
Middle most score
Median
Measures of Variability/Dispersion
Range
Standard Deviation
Variance
Most crude, simplest measure of variability
Range
How to get the range?
HS-LS=range
Scores are spread, scattered and far from each other
High Standard Deviation
Heterogeneous
Standard deviation (no singularity)
Scores are clustered, near, and homogeneous
Low standard deviation
Which performs better: High or Low standard deviation ?
Low standard deviation (because the scores of the students are near to each other)
Measure of Relative Position
Percentile
Decile
Stanine
Quartile
P20 -percentile. This means:
You are better than 20% of your classmates.
D2- decile. This means:
You performed better than the 2 students into the overall 10 students
9
Stanine
25
Quartile
The higher the position, the better you performed
Measures of Relative Position
Shapes
1.Kurtosis
2. Skewness
Kurtosis
- Platykurtic
- Leptokurtic
- Mesokurtic
Scattered, Far, Heterogenous
Platykurtic
Almost all are average; homogeneous scores. One identity.
Leptokurtic
Normal. Bell shaped. Only a few got high and low scores.
Mesokurtic
Low performing teacher and students. Difficult test.
Positively skewed
Clustered to the left
Positively skewed
Clustered to the right
Negatively skewed
High performing teacher and students. Easy test.
Negatively skewed
Proponent of Psychomotor
Simpson
Proponent of Affective
Krathowl
Proponents of Cognitive domain
Bloom, Anderson, Kendall and Marzano
What cognitive domain do we now use?
