1. For small samples (n < 50), if absolute z-scores for either skewness or kurtosis are larger than 1.96, which corresponds with a alpha level 0.05, then reject the null hypothesis and conclude the distribution of the sample is non-normal.

2. For medium-sized samples (50 < n < 300), reject the null hypothesis at absolute z-value over 3.29, which corresponds with a alpha level 0.05, and conclude the distribution of the sample is non-normal.


3. For sample sizes greater than 300, depend on the histograms and the absolute values of skewness and kurtosis without considering z-values. Either an absolute skew value larger than 2 or an absolute kurtosis (proper) larger than 7 may be used as reference values for determining substantial non-normality.

Experimental Design



1 . Repeated measures

This type of design is also known as within groups.

3 What is the difference between intra rater and inter rater relibility 

i.             Carry out a rank order correlation of the first and second sets of marks. 
       This is to check ‘intra-rater reliability’.

ii.            Correlate the first set of marks with another person’s first set of marks.

Factors That Can Affect The Inter-rater Reliability

There are several factors that can affect inter-rater reliability

  • Knowledge background.

v  Markers’ knowledge background is somehow a factor that can alter the reliability for marking process. It is because their views on certain issues may vary, thus affecting their agreement on the issues. This may lead to differences in evaluation during the marking.

  • Markers’ experience in marking.

v  A group of markers’ with distinct differences in experiences may lead to disagreement among them. Experience may alter their perceptions towards candidates’ performances, thus becoming a major factor that can affect the inter-rater reliability.
