B : false
Correct Answer : B
2 : A sample of n = 6 scores has X = 48. This sample has a mean of M = 8.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : A
3 : A sample of n = 8 scores has a mean of M = 16. For this sample, X = 2.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : B
4 : A sample with a mean of M = 20 has X = 120. There are n = 6 scores in the sample.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : A
5 : For the scores in the following frequency distribution table, the mean is M = 3. X f 4 1 3 4 2 2
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : B
6 : The mean is considered to be the balance point for a distribution because exactly half of the
scores are located above the mean and exactly half are below the mean.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : B
7 : In a sample of n = 3 scores, if two scores are each below the mean by 2 points, then the
third score is above the mean by 4 points.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : A
8 : A sample has a mean of M = 40. If a new score of X = 35 is added to the sample, then the
sample mean would increase.
A : true
B : false

,C: A sample has n = 7 scores with a mean of M = 9. If one individual
with a score of X = 3 is removed from the sample, the new
mean will be M = 10.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : A
9 : After adding 6 points to every score in a sample, the new mean is found to be M = 18. The
mean for the original sample was M = 24.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : B
10 : Adding a new score to a distribution will always change the value of the mean.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : B
11 : Changing the value of a score in a distribution will always change the value of the mean.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : B
12 : A sample of n = 6 scores has a mean of M = 9. If one individual with a score of X = 4 is
removed from the sample, the new mean will be M = 10.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : A
13 : A sample of n = 7 scores has a mean of M = 5. After one new score is added to the sample,
the new mean is calculated to be M = 6. The new score was X = 13.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : A
14 : A sample of n = 8 scores has a mean of M = 20. After one score is removed from the
sample, the mean is calculated to be M = 23. The removed score must have a value greater
than 20.
A : true
B : false
Correct Answer : B
15 : A sample of n = 10 scores has a mean of 50. A second sample has n = 5 scores and M=
60. If the two samples are combined, the combined sample mean will be greater than 55.
