I tried, I really did try...

Exam 2 in my stats class was way too hard. I tried to make it up by making Exam 3 easier. If you look at the median and mode, it clearly was EASY, right?

Exam 3: Median=90.00; Mode=92.00


However, look at the grade breakdown:

Exam 3
Frequency
35.00 1
37.00 1
49.00 1
50.00 1
58.00 1
62.00 1
64.00 1
73.00 1
75.00 1
82.00 1
84.00 1
85.00 1
87.00 1
89.00 2
91.00 2
92.00 4
93.00 3
94.00 1
95.00 2
96.00 3

How do you score in the 30's and 40's when half, HALF! of the class scores at 90 or above? Those are the students who are going to ask "if we pull our grades up on the final will we be OK?" DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME WHEN YOU SCORE LESS THAN 60 WHEN 1/2 OF YOUR PEERS SCORED ABOVE 90? I can not ignore it. I really can't.

Can you tell the end of the semester is coming and I'm getting cranky?
