3. Calculating and interpreting the standard deviation and variance The Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) provides Independent assessments of masculinity and femininity in terms of the respondent's self-reported possession of socially desirable, stereotypically masculine and feminine personality characteristics. Alison Konrad and Claudia Harris sought to compare African American and European American women on their judgments of the desirability of 40 masculine feminine, or androgynous traits.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, 47(5-6), 259-271. doi: 10.1023/A:1021386727269,1 Suppose the following are the scores from a group of African American women for the attribute gullible: 2 1 Calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation for this sample. Note: Please enter the mean to two decimal places. For example, enter 1 or 1.003 as 1.00 5

Suppose the following are the scores from a hypothetical group of European American women for the attribute gullible: 1 3 6 7 13 Calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation for this sample. Note: Please enter the mean to two decimal places. For example, enter 1 or 1.003 as 1.00 the standard deviation diversity in African The standard deviation of the scores from the group of African American women for the attribute gullible is from the group of European American women for the same attribute. This suggests that there is American women's scores compared with European American women's scores.
