How to interpret your score on the second midterm ================================================= 223 people took the exam mean 32.7, median 32.5, range [11.5,49.5] out of 50 points The histogram can be seen on compass. Notice that the distribution has a reasonable shape, but the whole thing is low. Most likely explanation is that the exam was too long. Approximate letter grades >= 39 A >= 33 B (*) >= 27.5 C >= 21.5 D >= 20 D-/F borderline < 20 F (*) The mismatch between this and the median value of 32.5 is a quantization artifact. The B/C line is basically at the median.
