1. Dylan designed a survey to find out what his classmates think about
lunch. They could pick one of three answers. Dylan assigned point
values to each response.
Response Point Value
Agree 2
Neutral 0
Disagree -2
His friend Diana suggested that he make a seven answer scale in
order to get more detailed answers. Dylan thought this was a good
suggestion, so he changed his responses.
Response Point Value
Strongly Agree
Agree
Moderately Agree
Neutral
Moderately Disagree
Disagree
Strongly Disagree
Dylan wants the “agree” response to be worth 6 points, and he wants
the point values to be assigned with an obvious pattern similar to the
one he used for the three answer scale. What are the other point
values? Justify your answer.
