GUIDE QUESTION 14

1. What do you think


is the meaning of 2.65
as your computed
mean?
ANSWER 15
We can actually
assume that , the usual
time spent of a student
in SECTION A is 2.65
hours.
GUIDE QUESTION 16

2. What do you think


is the meaning of 0.90
as your computed
standard deviation?
ANSWER 17
WINTER
• It means that the SD of
Template
0.91 hours in section A
indicates homogeneity or
heterogeneity of the data.
• The smaller the standard
deviation, the more likely
that an observed value of
the random variable will
be close to its mean.
