Instructions
For this homework, you will:
A. Apply the key to the raw responses. This step will result in "0" for an incorrect and "1" for a correct response.
B. Compute a total score for the exam. Using the scored responses, sum them to create a total score. Calculate a mean and standard deviation (SD) of the total score variable for this class and create a figure displaying this distribution.
C. Calculate Cronbach's Alpha for the exam. Create a single table that presents the sample size (N), mean, SD, and Cronbach's Alpha.
D. Calculate item difficulties and item discrimination stats for each exam item. Create a single table that lists the item number, the difficulty, and the discrimination values.
E. Write a verbal summary of all your findings. This summary section will include 2 elements:
1. Summarize the results of the descriptive statistics, distribution, and internal consistency for the test and the items by themselves using the information compiled in the tables/figure.
