1. What is being described in the table? The results of a reading examination of set of students.
2. How many students are there in the class? 50
3. What is the class width? 5
4. How did we get the midpoints from the given class interval? We get it by finding the midpoint
of the class interval
5. What is the lower limit of the class with the highest frequency? 139.5
6. What is the upper limit of the class with the lowest frequency? 114.5
7. The entry in the lowest class interval of the 4 column is done for you. From the lower class
th
interval, can you fill up the remaining blanks upward? How did you do it? I did it by adding the
frequency.
8. Look at the entire column on cumulative frequency. What is the cumulative frequency of the
highest-class interval? How do you compare this cumulative frequency with the number of
students who took the test? 2 student get a score within 140-144.
9. The last column is labelled cumulative percentage. What should be the first entry at the
bottom of the column with the right percentage? How do you do these in two ways? Which is
the easy way? What is the cumulative percentage of the highest class interval?
I did it by dividing the cumulative frequency bythe total number of observation and multiplying it
to 100. The cumulative percentage of the highest class interval is 4
10. Take a look at the values in the table, in particular, the frequency column. What type of
distribution (positively skewed, negatively skewed, symmetrical) is depicted by the given
values? Why do you say so? It was positively skewed.

A. The mean, the median and mode are equal.
B. The median is higher than the mean.
C. The mean is higher than the median.
D. The mode is higher than the mean and the median.
II. Solve
1. Here is a set of scores: 21, 92, 73, 34, 65, 46, 57, 18, 89. Find the following:
• Mean
21 + 92 + 73 + 34 + 65 + 46 + 57 + 18 + 89 / 9 = 415.9
• Median
18, 21, 34, 46, 57, 65, 73, 89, 92
46 + 57 / 2 = 51.5
• Mode
None
• Range
92-18 = 74
• Variance
18-416=-398
21-416=-395
34-416=-382
46-416=-370
57-416=-359
65-416=-351
73-416=-343
89-416=-327
92-416=-324
VARIANCE = [(-398)2+(-395)2+(-382)2+(-370)2+(-359)2+(-351)2+(343)2+(327)2+(324)2] / 9
=(158,404 +156,025 +145,924 +136,900 +128,881 +123,201 +117,649
+106,929+104,976 )/ 9
=1178889/ 9
=130988
• Standard Deviation
√130988
=361.9 or 363
2. A student has a gotten the following grades on his tests: 87, 95, 76, and 88. He wants an 85 or
better overall. What is the minimum grade he must get on the last test in order to achieve that
average?

FRAMES OF REFERENCE
2. In a Math test, Amy’s scored in the 90th percentile. This connotes that Amy’s score is
greater than 90% of the scores of the students who took the Math test.
Norm-referenced test because Amy’s score was compared to other students’ score.
3. Shiela, a kindergartener, can select the specified number of objects when verbally given
the numbers from 1 to 10. She was able to answer the teacher’s questions correctly to
achieve an advanced level of proficiency.
4. John’s T-score in a Science test is 40. This means he is a distance of one standard
deviation below the mean of the group.
Norm-referenced test because John’s T-score was compared to the mean of the group.
6. Purita took a spelling test. With a point awarded to each correct answer, Purita garnered a
score of 20.
Criterion-referenced interpretation because Purita has to write the correct spelling as the
criteria of assessment.
