     (b)   Standard Error of Measurement (SEM)            =          Ö 0.16K

            where, ‘K’ is the number of test items.

            i.e.,       SEM    =          Ö0.16 x 40      =          Ö 6.40

                                    =          2.529   =   2.53

(3)   Derived scores of types Z, T, CEEB and AGCT with reference to the first score 30.

(a)                Z  =  x  - x#))

S

                        Where,             ‘x’ is any raw score

                                                ‘x#))’ is the mean of the set of raw scores

                                    ‘S’ is the SD of the set of raw scores

            Here the referred Score is 30

                                    Mean is     23

                                    S.D. is    4.48  =  4.5

            \        Z          =            30 – 23     =   7.0    =   70

                                                      4.5             4.5          45

                                    =          1.556   =          1.56

The Z-score range from –3 to +3.  since some two scores involves negative and decimal values, it is difficult for many to interpret the Z-scores.  Therefore, other standard scores like, T, CEEB, AGGT, are devised which avoid negative and decimal values of 2 scores.  This is achieved by suitable multiplication factors introduced.  They are as follows :

(b)               T  =  10Z  +  50

Where,             Z  =  x  - x#))

S

                        10 is the multiplying constant (to eliminate decimal values)

                        50 is the additive constant (to eliminate negative values)

                        i.e., T  =  10 x [7/4.5] + 50   =   70/45  =  1.56 + 50   =   51.56

            (c)        CEEB =          100 x Z  +  500  =   (10T)

                                    =          100 [7/4.5]  +  500

                                    =          70/45  +  500  =  1.56 + 500   =   501.56

            (d)        AGCT  =          20  x  Z  +  100  =  (2T)

                                    =          20 [7/4.5]  +  100   =   14/45  +  100

                                    =          0.31  +  100   =   100.31

4)         Percentile rank corresponding to the score 29.

                        The student’s rank who scored 29 is 2 among the 60 students.

                        That means, he is better than 58 students

                        His percentile rank is calculated as

 

                                     58  x  100_    =    96.66

                                           60
\      Percentile rank corresponding to the score 29 is 97.
