Please excuse my pun.


Because of all the doubling, tripling, etc. of the raw score (0-10), the distribution of scores will not be normal. Therefore you can not use the 'standard' formula for the calculation of the standard deviation. I would guess that a professional statistician could figure all of this out for us, but it would not be simple to explain to your Granny - unless she's a professional statistician.

P.J.
