Practice Descriptive

The document contains instructions for completing a statistics assignment, including calculating various metrics like the mean, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and z-scores for a variable. The respondent provided their results for variable V21 on a Likert scale question about difficulty with math and statistics. They reported the mean was 2.68, variance was 2.06, standard deviation was 1.44, coefficient of variation was 0.537, and calculated various probabilities based on the normal distribution of the variable.

Fill in this table (no handwriting admitted), print it on a single page and hand it as soon your lecturer asks you to.
Copy the full name of your variable. Do not forget its ID. Like this: V--. Full name What is the mean value of your variable? Qualitative interpretation of your mean What is the variance of your variable? What is the standard deviation of your variable? The standard score equivalent to 4.5 raw score of your variable is Compute the coefficient of variation of your variable Give the maximum, minimum and range of your variable. Your answer should look like 50-15=35. Assuming your variable is normally distributed, the raw score of an individual whose Z score is -1.96 is Assuming your variable is normally distributed, compute the proportion of subjects whose Z score is 0.5 Assuming your variable is normally distributed, compute the proportion of subjects whose Z score is 0,75 Assuming your variable is normally distributed, compute the proportion of subjects whose Z score is between -1,96 and +1

V21. I have always had great difficulty with maths and statistics. 2.68 On average, people don't agree nor disagree with the statement I have always had great difficulty with maths and statistics. 2.06 1.44

Cv = S/mean 5-1=4

CV = 1.44/2.68 = 0.537

(ZxS)+mean = X (-1.96x1.44)+2.68 = -2.822+2.68 = -0.142 66.15% 1-0.7734 = 0.2266 22.66% (0.9750-0.5)+(0.8413 0.5) = 0.4750+0.3413 = 0.8163 81.63%
