Quiz 2 Results

Each quiz normally consists of 50 multiple choice questions and a perfect score is 50 out of 50. The raw score distribution for the class is as follows:: Median: 31; Mean: 31.2; Standard Deviation: 6.1
Here is the conversion between letter grade and raw score:: A: 38-50; B: 32-37; C: 26-31; D: 21-25; E: 0-20

These grade ranges do not take into account +/- divisions, although these will be used for the final grades. For example, if you consistently fall near the low end of a letter distribution, you will probably receive a '-' and not a solid letter grade (e.g. B- rather than B). The distribution for the class is shown in the figure below.
