Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mode is defined as the score that occurs most frequently in a distribution. Therefore, it indicates the most common score. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution, the standard deviation measures the spread of scores around the mean, and the median is the score that separates the top 50% from the bottom 50% of scores. None of these measures specifically indicate the most common score.
