Abstract
Responses of 223 students in grades 6 to 11 to questions related to beliefs about getting out
of bed on the left side are analysed from two perspectives. On one hand the items explore
subjective beliefs about chance. On the other hand the different wording and context of the
items provide opportunity to show different levels of understanding of students’
explanations. Rasch analysis is used to place the items on a scale with other statistical
literacy items in order to suggest potential levels of difficulty.
