Document Summary

Literature review- info provided in the intro providing with current peer reviewed info on the topic. Variants vs standard deviation: standard deviation: variance square rooted. Another form of variation, providing with an index to compare variance across different variables. Midterm score is one standard deviation from the mean. Builds on a variance by providing with an index. Describe distribution by standardizing, in research uses public standard deviation. Provides a comment unit: variance: describes how far each score is away from the mean (average of whole score) and the total sample. How far away are the scores from the mean. Small variance: most ppl in class have similar marks. Looks at each score subtracted by mean and divides by total population to get average difference. Central tendency: umbrella for mean, mode, median: how to describe common response.
