    Question

    Onderstaand staan de antwoorden van 4 mensen op 5 vragen. Wat zijn de afgeronde totaalscores (I t/m IV), wanneer je alleen mensen meeneemt die minimaal 3 antwoorden hebben gegeven? In SPSS zou dit de functie zijn: rnd(means.3(v1 to v5) ×\times 5).

    ID V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 Total
    1 1 2 3 (I)
    2 3 2 (II)
    3 1 2 2 3 (III)
    4 3 2 2 1 1 (IV)

    1. TRUE:
      1. 10, (II) missing, (III) 10 en (IV) 9
    2. FALSE:
      1. missing, (II) missing, (III) missing, (IV) 9
    3. FALSE:
      1. 6, (II) missing, (III) 8, (IV) 9
    4. FALSE:
      1. missing, (II) missing, (III) 10, (IV) 9

    Solution

    “(I) 10, (II) missing, (III) 10 en (IV) 9” is correct. For each person with at least 3 scores, you replace the missings by their mean score. For person 1 this makes: 1+2+3÷3=21+2+3 \div 3 = 2, so the scores are: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3 so a total score of 10. Person 2 is excluded, so “missing”, person 3 gets 8÷4=28 \div 4 = 2 to replace the missing, so the scores are 1, 2, 2, 3, 2 and the total score is 10. Person 4 has a total score of 9.
