St<strong>and</strong>ard Deviation: “A measure describing how close members of a data set are<br />

in relation to each other. The st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation is the square root of the variance,<br />

also known as the mean of the mean. The st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation can be found by<br />

taking the square root of the variance” (Intermath Dictionary, 2004b, 1).<br />

Question 1 (10 points):<br />

• Test A: An integer field/variable i can take values in the range –999 <strong>and</strong><br />

999, the endpoints being inclusive. Develop a series of tests by performing<br />

equivalence class analysis <strong>and</strong> boundary value analysis on this variable.<br />

Analyze only the dimension that is explicitly specified here.<br />

• Test B: An integer field/variable i can take values in the range –1000 <strong>and</strong><br />

1000, the endpoints being exclusive. Develop a series of tests by performing<br />

equivalence class analysis <strong>and</strong> boundary value analysis on this variable.<br />

Analyze only the dimension that is explicitly specified here.<br />

Table 6.01 analyzes <strong>and</strong> interprets learners’ scores on Question 1.<br />
