2. Additional data collected for the same test items are presented in the table below. Calculate
the discrimination index and fill up the table.

Item Number Upper Group Lower Group Discrimination Index

1 25 9 0.64
2 9 9 0
3 2 8 -0.24
4 38 8 1.20
5 1 7 -0.24
Formula/s: where:

*D = (Ru / Tu ) – (Rl / Tl) D = discrimination index

*D = ( Ru – Rl ) / T Ru= number of students in the upper group getting the item correct
*D = pu - pl Rl= number of students in the lower group getting the item correct
T = number of students in the either group
T u= number of students in the upper group
Tl= number of students in the lower group
Pu= p-value for the upper group
Pl = p-value for the lower group
1. D = (Ru / Tu ) – (Rl / Tl) = ( Ru – Rl ) / T
= (25/25) – (9/25) = (25 – 9) / 25
= 1 – 0.36 = 16 / 25
= 0.64 = 0.64
2. D = (Ru / Tu ) – (Rl / Tl) = ( Ru – Rl ) / T
= (9/25) – (9/25) = (9 – 9) / 25
= 0.36 – 0.36 = 0 / 25
=0 =0
3. D = (Ru / Tu ) – (Rl / Tl) = ( Ru – Rl ) / T
= (2/25) – (8/25) = (2 – 8) / 25
= 0.08 – 0.32 = -6 / 25
= -0.24 = -0.24
4. D = (Ru / Tu ) – (Rl / Tl) = ( Ru – Rl ) / T
= (38/25) – (8/25) = (38 – 8) / 25
= 1.52 – 0.32 = 30 / 25
= 1.20 = 1.20
5. D = (Ru / Tu ) – (Rl / Tl) = ( Ru – Rl ) / T
= (1/25) – (7/25) = (1 – 7) /25
= 0.04 – 0.28 = -6 / 25
= -0.24 = -0.24
