  Statistical Analysis of Achievement Test Introduction Statistical analysis is an important step in the interpretation of test results. It helps in understanding the overall performance of students in the achievement test using numerical measures. Through statistical analysis, the teacher can determine the average performance, variability of scores, and distribution pattern of marks obtained by students. Statistical analysis is used to interpret the scores obtained by students in the achievement test in a scientific manner. It helps to understand the overall performance and variability of students. Statistical measures are broadly classified into two categories: measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion. Objectives of Statistical Analysis To determine the average performance of students. To analyze the distribution of marks obtained by students. To identify variations in students’ achievement levels. To classify students into high, average, and low achi...
