Correct and skipped are out of everyone who was served the question. Discrimination is the correct rate in the top 27% of scorers minus the bottom 27% (−1 to 1): below 0.1 the question doesn't separate strong from weak students; a negative value usually means a wrong key or an ambiguous question. “Check this key” means fewer than 25% got it right and the most-picked option is not the key.
