4Social interaction problems 61.4, 11.1On which scale did the children have the most variability in their scores? 1. Social interaction problems.
2. Attention problems.
3. Withdrawn.
4. Somatic complaints.
1
Rationale 1: The more the variability in scores, the greater the standard deviation. Therefore, the scale with the largest SD, social interaction problems, represents the scale with the most variability in scores.
Rationale 2: Attention problems have a lower SD, therefore, less variability in scores.
Rationale 3: Withdrawn has a lower SD, therefore, less variability in scores.
Rationale 4: Somatic complaints have a lower SD, therefore, less variability in scores.
