Across
  1. 2. A table containing the categories, score values, or class intervals and their frequency of occurance.
  2. 3. A term that describes how a score compares to other scores from the same set.
  3. 7. In a cross-tabulation, the result of dividing a cell frequency by the number of cases in the column. Column percents sum to 100% for each column of a cross-tabulation.
  4. 10. A graphic method in which rectangular bars indicate the frequencies or percentages for categories.
  5. 11. A method for standardizing for size that compares the number of cases in any given category with the total number of cases in the distribution.
  6. 14. A distribution in which more respondents receive high than low scores, resulting in a longer tail on the left than on the right.
  7. 15. A distribution in which more respondents receive low than high scores, resulting in a longer tail on the right than on the left.
  8. 16. A category in a group distribution containing more than one score value.
  9. 17. A graph of the differences between groups or trends across time on some variable(s).
  10. 20. The total number of cases being any given score or a score that is lower.
  11. 21. A method of standardizing for size that compare the number of cases falling into one category with the number of cases falling into another category.
  12. 22. A circular graph whose pieces add up to 100%.
Down
  1. 1. The percent of cases having any score or a score that is lower.
  2. 4. The point midway between adjacent class intervals that serves to close the gap between them.
  3. 5. The middle-most point in a frequency distribution. A measure of central tendency.
  4. 6. The middle-most score value in a class interval.
  5. 8. A kind of ration that indicates a comparison between the number of actual cases and the number of potential cases.
  6. 9. A frequency and percent table of two or more variables taken together.
  7. 12. A method of standardizing for size that indicates the frequency of occurrence of a category per 100 cases.
  8. 13. A graphic method in which rectangular bars indicate the frequencies or percentages for the range of score values.
  9. 18. Percentile ranks that divide the 100-unit scale by 10s.
  10. 19. Percentile ranks that divide the 100-unit scale by 25s.
