Final Exam Results
(Here is the FInal Exam Solution Key)
Of the 12 people that took the first Midterm Exam, the average score was 61.0 out of 100 and the standard deviation was 22.0. This is average is considerably lower than any of the previous midterms. Apparently I wrote a hard final or having a final on the last day of finals hurts performance. Scores ranged from 20.5 to 89.5. Plots of the histogram of the scores and the Percentile versus score grade are shown below:
