Questions and Answers

What is the formula for calculating the range?

  • Standard deviation
  • Sum of all values
  • Median value
  • Largest value - Smallest value (correct)

How is the median defined?

  • The middle value in a set of data arranged from smallest to largest (correct)
  • The sum of all values divided by the number of values
  • Halfway between the smallest and largest value
  • The most frequently occurring value

What does the formula for sample standard deviation involve?

  • Difference between mean and median
  • Difference between each value and the mean squared (correct)
  • Difference between largest and smallest value
  • Sum of all values squared
