Which of the following assertions is most accurate? Criterion-referenced score-based inferences are relative interpretations. Norm-referenced score-based inferences are absolute interpretations. Norm-referenced score-based inferences and criterion-referenced score-based inferences are not essentially interchangeable. Norm-referenced score-based inferences are typically more useful to classroom teachers than criterion-referenced score-based inferences.

Norm-referenced score-based inferences are not absolute interpretations, they are relative interpretations because they compare a student's performance to the performance of a group of peers. Norm-referenced score-based inferences and criterion-referenced Show more…

You are thinking of using the t-procedure to test hypotheses about the mean of a population. Using a significance level of 0.05, you assume that the population is not normal and may be moderately skewed. Which of the following statements are correct? You should not use the t-procedure because the population does not have a normal distribution. You may use the z-procedure, but you should probably only claim that the significance level is 0.10. You may use the t-procedure for confidence intervals but not for tests of hypotheses. You may use the t-procedure, provided your sample size is large enough. Which of the following is a matched pairs design? A teacher compares the pretest and posttest scores of students. The average scores of students on Part A of the test were higher than the average scores of students on Part B. The teacher wants to know if the difference is statistically significant. The national average score for teachers who teach the same subject is also given. The teacher wants to compare the scores of their students to the national average. The scores of students in the control group were also collected. We were not sure if the distribution of the population was normal. Which of the following circumstances would not be suitable for using a t-test? The mean and median of the data are not significantly different. The histogram of the data shows a moderate skewness. The sample standard deviation is not provided.
Education: Teacher Evaluation If you were going to apply statistical methods to analyze teacher evaluations, which question form, A or B, would be better? Form $A:$ In your own words, tell how this teacher compares with other teachers you have had. Form $B:$ Use the following scale to rank your teacher as compared with other teachers you have had. $$\begin{array}{ccccc}1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\text { worst } & \text { below } & \text { average } & \text { above } & \text { best } \\& \text { average } & & \text { average }\end{array}$$
