If 5% ofthose observations were due to the statistical significant level, then only 3.2% of score sets werenon-normal.A range of +/- 1.5σ on a normal distribution should flag a maximum of 13.4% of the scores inthe course as potential outliers. This is a large enough percentage to minimize the risk of falsenegatives. However, it could easily flag more scores than could be reviewed in a large course.The standard deviation multiplier value could be further increased to reduce the number offlagged outliers. However, this would also increase the number of true outliers that goundetected, violating SC1. Instead, three additional conditions were added to reduce the numberof flagged scores and to satisfy SC2.First
