pbc = point biserial correlation: the correlation of an
individual problem with the total test.
N = number of test-takers in the sample.
These are plots of the number of people getting a particular problem correct (normalized to N) per total-score bin. The bins are distributed as follows:
Adjusted Score bin size |
Number of scores |
-5.75 to -2 | 5 |
-1.75 to 2 | 17 |
2.25 to 6 | 21 |
6.25 to 10 | 19 |
10.25 to 14 | 33 |
14.25 to 18 | 33 |
18.25 to 22 | 32 |
22.25 to 26 | 66 |
26.25 to 30 | 52 |
30.25 to 34 | 37 |
34.25 to 38 | 25 |
38.25 to 42 | 20 |
