Chapter Assessment 5

Traditional Assessment
1. What is the significance of the mean, median and mode in assessing the
performance of the learners in the classroom? What are the properties of mean,
median and mode?
2. When and why the mean, median and mode are used in interpreting student
performance?
3. What is measure of variation or dispersion? Describe the different properties of
range, mean deviation, quartile deviation, inter-quartile range, variance and
standard deviation.
4. Discuss the importance of the different measures of variability in assessing the
performance of the students. What measure of variation and when to use
measure of variation in interpreting scores of students?
5. Differentiate skewness from normal curve.
Performance-based Assessment
Below are scores of 50 students in a 40-item test in English.
25 21 36 22 16 29 30 34 33 25

1. Construct a frequency distribution table.
2. Compute the mean, median, mode. Interpret the results
3. Determine the value of Q1, Q2, Q3, D4, D5, D6, P60, P75, P95. Analyze the values.
4. Compute the range, quartile deviation, mean deviation, variance, standard deviation
and coefficient of variation. Make an analysis of each value
5. Solve for the SK value and make an interpretation of the value.

Portfolio Assessment
1. Subscribe a copy of power point or video presentations on the discussions of
measure of central tendency, measure of central location and measure of
dispersion/variation downloaded from the internet. Copy the presentation in CD
or USB
