QUESTION 1
Introduction
Aim
The aim of this project is to apply the concept of statistics in knowing the students performance in a
test and the difficulty level of the test.
Objectives
a) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the marks of the students.
b) Calculate the composite index of the marks.

c) Use the mean mark, standard deviation and composite index to compare the students
performance and the difficulty level of different tests.
PART 1
Students are required to collect marks of a certain subject in the 2015 Mid Year and Final Year
examination for 50 students, to obtain information of the students achievement and level of difficulty
of a certain subject in two different test.
PART 2
Using the marks you have obtained in PART 1, calculate the
a) mean mark
b) standard deviation
for each examination.
PART 3
Based on the Mid Year Examination and the Final Year Examination marks of the students respectively,
group the marks according to the grade as shown in the Table 1:
