Linda Assignment Question

I was looking at table B.5 trying to calculate the Base Rate for the "determining strengths and weaknesses section", i was wondering how you use the table to calculate base rate.  I'm a bit confused.  

Thanks.

You look at the difference from the mean (3rd column in the test booklet)and look at where the number falls in that subtest. So, for the example we did in class, the difference from the mean was 4.3 for BD, so after you determine that the critical value is 2.85, then you go across and find 4.3 under the base rate and since it falls between 2 and 5%, the base rate is an estimation between 2 and 5.
