Overview
In the thread for each short-answer discussion, the student will post short answers to the prompted questions. The answers must demonstrate course-related knowledge from the textbook and support their assertions with scholarly citations in the latest APA format. Minimum word count for all short answers cumulatively is 150-200 words. For each thread the student must include a title block with your name, class title, date, and the discussion forum number; write the question number and the question title as a level one heading (e.g. D1.1 Variables) and then provide yourresponse; use Level Two headings for multi part questions (e.g. D1.1 & D1.1.a, D1.1.b, etc.), and include a referencesection. If you choose to bring in additional scholarly sources, you may do so, but it is not expected. Respond to the following short answer questions from this module:
D3.4.1 Using Outputs 4.1a and 4.1b: (a) What is the mean visualization test score? (b) What is the skewness statistic for math achievement test? What does this tell us? (c) What is the minimum score for mosaic pattern test? How can that be?
D3.4.2.Using Output 4.1b: (a) For which variables that we called scale, is the skewness statistic more than 1.00 or less than –1.00? (b) Why is the answer important? (c) Does this agree with the boxplot for Output 4.2? Explain.
D3.4.3.Using Output 4.2b: (a) How many participants have missing data? (b) What percent of students have a valid (non-missing) motivation scale or competence scale score? (c) Can you tell from Outputs 4.1 and 4.2b how many are missing both motivation scale and competence scale scores? Explain.
D3.4.4.Using Output 4.4: (a) Can you interpret the means? Explain. (b) How many participants are there altogether? (c) How many have complete data (nothing missing)? (d) What percent are in the fast track? (e) What percent took algebra 1 in h.s.?
D3.4.5.Using Output 4.5: (a) 9.6% of what group are Asian-Americans? (b) What percent of students have visualization 2 scores of 6? (c) What percent had such scores of 6 or less?
