Hi,
In Chapter 11, section 2.4, the "mean response" and the "individual response" are described. I don't really get what this means, particularly the mean response*.
In the practice questions at the end of the chapter, 11.5 (iv) asks for the mean finals paper score for an individual entrance score of 53.
In 11.7 (ii) we are asked for the estimate of the average score for class X5 containing 15 students.
What is the difference conceptually? How can an individual exam entrant have a "mean score"?
Thanks,
Eleanor
