Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The range of scores that we feel comfortable and includes the true score is called a confidence interval. Option A, standard deviation, is a measure of the spread of scores around the mean and does not directly relate to the true score. Option B, standard error of measurement, is an estimate of the variability that can be expected in the scores due to measurement error and does not describe the range of scores that includes the true score. Option D, normal curve, is a mathematical model that describes the distribution of scores in a population, but it does not address the range of scores that includes the true score.
