Colin Has Computed the Variance for His 10 Raw Scores SX2S_{X}^{2}

Question 18

Multiple Choice

Colin has computed the variance for his 10 raw scores and obtained = 16.37.He then computed SX2S_{X}^{2} SXˉS \bar{X} as follows: sxˉ=4.04610=0.636s \bar{x}=\sqrt{\frac{4.046}{10}}=0.636 What is wrong?


A) Colin first took the square root of SX2S_{X}^{2} and put this into the formula for SXˉS \bar{X} .He should have used the SX2S_{X}^{2} = 16.37 value.
B) Colin should have divided here by N - 1.
C) Colin should not have taken the square root of 4.046/10 because he needs SX2S_{X}^{2} in the formula for the t-test.
D) There is nothing wrong with the way Colin has done this problem.
