The Relation of the Scale Coarseness to the Dependability of Marks.

Kleven, Thor Arnfinn

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v23 n3 p109-30 1979

Supposing different values of the standard measurement error, the relation of scale coarseness to the total amount of error is studied on the basis of probability distribution of error. The analyses are performed within two models of error and with two criteria of amount of error. (Editor/SJL)
