1. You are given the following sample of scores: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 25
(a) For the sample above, calculate (show all of your work):
(i) the mean
(ii) the median
(iii) the mode
(iv) the variance
(v) the standard deviation
(vi) What do the variance and standard deviation represent?
(b) Which raw score in the above sample most closely corresponds to a z-score of –0.7?
(c) If Dr. Jones states that the mean is the best measure of central tendency for this sample, would you say Dr. Jones is correct or incorrect? Give a reason for your choice. If you disagree with Dr. Jones, which measure of central tendency would you choose and why?
