Abstract
An approximation to the sampling distribution of Kuder-Richardson reliability formula 20 is derived, using its algebraic equivalent obtained through an items-by-subjects analysis of variance. The theoretical distribution is compared to empirical estimates of the sampling distribution to assess how crucial certain assumptions are. The use of the theoretical distribution for testing hypotheses and deriving confidence intervals is illustrated. A table of equations for approximating 80, 90, and 95 per cent confidence intervals is presented with N ranging from 40 to 500.
