Compare the means and standard deviations of the victimization scale for males and females in Table 2. What do these numbers tell us about the victimization experiences of each gender? what do standard deviations tell us about variables?
Explanation / Answer
As means are between 1 and 5 we assume that scale is from 1 - 5 .
As per the normal scale 1 is least and 5 is highest.
Victimization experiences of each gender . Male is 4.46 and Female is 2.39
So as males mean is 4.46 we can say that males have experienced in more higher form the victimization.
Also as females mean is 2.39 we can say that females experienced victimization in less form.
Also , if we compare males and females , on an average males have experienced victimization more than females.
Standard deviations tell us the spread of the variables on the overall data.
The spread of males who have experienced victimization is 7.68 which is more than spread of females who have experienced victimization 5.46
