A researcher wishes to estimate the reliability of the new test of a person's sense of humor, the LOL test (Lambda Orientation Level)
The test is composed of a total of 40 items, and the researcher splits the scoring in order to compare each subject's score on the odd numbered items with those on the even numbered items. A total of 10 adult males was randomly selected and their scores were as follows:
Odd Even
Subject # X Y
1 15 17
2. 10 13
3. 5 8
4. 8 8
5. 12 12
6. 13 13
7. 7 10
8. 10 8
9. 11 12
10. 9 9
Estimate the reliability of the whole test.
What will be an ideal response?
r=.833 Sig p<.01, Spearman-Brown = .909
