Statistical distribution report block

A Question - Statistical Distribution report block analyzes the responses for a specific question and displays the number of groups (colleges, departments, etc) whose mean or median results are within a certain range.

As an example:

• If each question in a course evaluation can have a response of 1-5.
• For each question, display the number of college departments that had a median result > 4.5. For these college departments, half of the responses to the question were > 4.5.

In this example, a Question - Statistical Distribution report block has been created by using a Virtual question which combines three Single Selection questions, where the first question has two scales.

• Caption - Label the scale point’s frequency analysis in the table (charts not available).
• Min Value and Max Value - The minimum and maximum values for this scale.

Secondary Scale - Click Add to select which scale point to include in the frequency analysis. The Remove button is used to exclude scale points from the question block.
