Question: Reread the description of the classic study by Bransford and Franks (problem). Using the frequency distribution you compiled for that question (or the answer in Appendix G), calculate the mean, median, and mode. Find the range and the interquartile range. After considering why Bransford and Franks would gather such data, calculate an appropriate standard deviation and variance. Write a paragraph explaining what your calculations show
Problem: An experimenter read 60 related statements to a class. He then asked the students to indicate which of the next 20 statements were among the first 60.
Due to the relationships among the concepts in the sentences, many seemed familiar but, in fact, none of the 20 had been read before. The following scores indicate the number (out of 20) that each student had "heard earlier." (See Bransford and Franks, 1971.) Arrange the scores into a simple frequency distribution. Based on this description and your frequency distribution, write a sentence of interpretation
