Cluster Mean, and SD

1.41 0.67

Interpret the mean and standard deviation

Answer 1

For question all the questions pastors 95% of pastors agree with all the 3 statements since we know from the empirical rule that 95% = mean ± 2standard deviations

so calculations will be 95% of data falls between 1.31 ± 2*0.54 = (0.23, 2.4)

For second question 95% of data falls between 1.39 ± 2*0.67 = (0.05, 2.73)

For third question 95% of data falls between 1.53 ± 2*0.81 = (-0.09, 3.15)

Average for all questions 95% of data falls between 1.41 ± 2*0.67 = (0.07, 2.75)

From the above calculations we can conclude that 95% of pastors agree with the above statements.

we can also say pastors differed in their perception in statement compared to statement one and two.
