Question 13

A psychologist investigated the effect of active retrieval practice on memory recall using a word-list test (with scores ranging from 0 to 30; higher scores indicate better recall).

What would be the value of n n\,n in the formula below to calculate the standard deviation (SD) of the recall scores for the Active Recall group in this study?

SD=∑(x−xˉ)2n SD = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar{x})^2}{n}} SD=n∑(x−xˉ)2​​
