ANSWERS 100% VERIFIED
An 11th grade class has just finished reading the grapes of wrath. What is the best
way to assess students understanding of the book ? - ANSWER - a homework
assignment that requires students to reflect on facts and key points
why? the assessment is aligned with lesson content. the question does not state
that the teacher has taught the class about literary terms, such plot and theme like
choice c addressed (written test about plot, theme, and main characters)
What is the unbiased standard deviation of the following sample?
Student Score 1 3 5 7 9 - ANSWER - 4.28
The correct answer is B.
Step 1: The mean is 5.
Step 2: Subtracting the mean from each score.
(1−5) = −4
(3−5) = −2
(5−5) = 0
(7−5) = 2
(9−5) = 4
Step 3: Squaring the result for each score.

, 4
16
Step 4: Adding the results (16 + 4 +0 + 4 + 16) = 40
Step 5: Dividing 40 by the number of scores minus 1 = 10
Step 6: The square root of 10 is approximately 3.16.
Which of the following BEST describes what a Pearson coefficient of zero between
scores on two tests would indicate to a teacher? - ANSWER - The scores on the two
tests are ...unrelated
A Pearson coefficient of zero indicates that the scores on the two tests are not
related in a reliable or predictable way.
If the graph of a data distribution shows that the mean is graphed to the right of the
mode, which of the following is most likely true? - ANSWER - positively skewed
The correct answer is A. In a positively skewed frequency distribution, the mean
moves to the right of the mode and the majority of the scores fall below the mean.
For a frequency distribution that is negatively skewed, the mean moves to the left of
the mode and is shaped so that the majority of its scores fall above its mean. In a
positively skewed distribution, the median is generally less than the mean.
Which of the following BEST describes a graph of a bimodal distribution? - ANSWER -
There are two points of high frequency data within the distribution.
The correct answer is B. "Bimodal" means that there are two modes or peaks within
the same distribution of data. The two modes will not necessary reflect two
extremes and may be clustered near one another.
at the end of a unit on world war II, students take a test on the major aspects of the
war. the teacher uses the test results for grading and evaluation. this is an example
of what type of assessment? - ANSWER - Summative
What assessment provides feedback to a teacher after student practice and is
usually not used for grading purposes? - ANSWER - Formative
