Analyzing Class Score Distributions

The video tutorial explains measures of spread, including range, interquartile range, and standard deviation. It compares quiz results of two classes, Class A and Class B, using dot plots. Class A's scores are consistent with an outlier, while Class B's scores are more spread out. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the spread of scores to assess consistency and variability.

What is the primary purpose of measures of spread?

• To determine the average score

• To check if scores are close together or spread out

• To find the highest score

• To calculate the total number of scores

Which of the following is NOT a measure of spread?

• Interquartile range

• Range

• Mean

• Standard deviation

In the example, what is the maximum score a student could achieve on the quiz?

• 5

• 10

• 15

• 20

How many students in Class A scored a perfect score?

• One

• Two

• None

• Three

If Class A's scores are mostly between 0 and 4, what does this indicate about their performance?

• They have a wide spread

• They have no outliers

• They have a narrow spread

• They are inconsistent

What is the range of scores for Class B?

• 0 to 4

• 0 to 10

• 2 to 8

• 1 to 9

What is the significance of having a wider spread in scores?

• It indicates more consistency

• It shows a greater variety in performance

• It suggests fewer outliers

• It means all students scored the same

Which class has a more consistent set of scores?

• Class A

• Neither class is consistent

• Both classes are equally consistent

• Class B

What term is used to describe a score that is significantly different from the rest?

• Mode

• Median

• Average

• Outlier

Which measure of spread would be most affected by an outlier?

• Median

• Standard deviation

• Interquartile range

• Range
