Standard scores were derived by subtracting the mean score from the observed score and dividing
the amount by the standard deviation for that distribution of scores.
Not exact matches
At worst, the taxpayers of Illinois paid $ 51 per student and saw test scores decrease
by 0.002 of a
standard deviation, a negligible
amount.
We therefore report the estimated effects of a one
standard deviation increase in the
amount of competition faced
by a given public school
by each measure.
The smallest
amount of slippage was in 4th - grade math, where
standards fell
by 0.06
standard deviations.
Within - class and cross-grade programs, which entail moderate
amounts of curricular adjustment, boost test scores of higher aptitude students
by about 0.2 to 0.3
standard deviations, or
by 2 to 3 months on a grade - equivalent scale.
I also have had a lower
amount of volatility (as measured
by standard deviation of day - over-day returns) then my benchmark index (the S&P / TSX Composite Index).
The percent swing in annual returns is much lower (only a 5.6 %
amount for one
standard deviation), but you stand to earn a whole lot less over time
by investing in these much more conservative instruments (only 5.3 % annually).
The «noise level,» that is, the amplitude of internal variability, approximated here
by the
standard deviation (σ) of the OHC time series after the linear trend is removed,
amounts to 0.77 × 1022 J from 2004 to 2015 (Table 1).
P (Obs calendar - age = y) does not change much when y changes
by a small
amount, small enough that the carbon - 14 age changes
by much less than the
standard deviation of the measurement error.
Now suppose that one region warms
by 1
standard deviation while the other does not (or more generally, that they simply warm
by different
amounts), but that there is no change in variability in either region.
For illustration, let's take the most simple case of a normal distribution that is shifted towards the warm end
by a given
amount — say one
standard deviation.
