In a five group discriminant problem, where the groups are equal in size, the mean discriminant score for each group is $\overline{Y}$ ₁ = 13.01, $\overline{Y}$ ₂ = 24.65, $\overline{Y}$ ₃ = 3.02, $\overline{Y}$ ₄ = 8.03, and $\overline{Y}$ ₅ = 42.06.
-What is the cutting score between Y₁ and Y₂?

Question

In a five group discriminant problem, where the groups are equal in size, the mean discriminant score for each group is

\overline{Y}

₁ = 13.01,

\overline{Y}

₂ = 24.65,

\overline{Y}

₃ = 3.02,

\overline{Y}

₄ = 8.03, and

\overline{Y}

₅ = 42.06.
-What is the cutting score between Y₁ and Y₂?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cutting score between Y₁ and Y₂ is the average of the mean discriminant scores for the two groups. So, the cutting score is (13.01 + 24.65) / 2 = 18.83.
