-Find a curve/math function that can best fitt the grade distribution for each term? Plot the curves/functions for all terms and illustrate in one figure.

-Report the pass rate? Pass rate is D and above. E and F are fails.

-Write a menu driven program with four options (each term) to illustrate: -the grade distribution by term -the pass rate by term

Explanation / Answer

We have Letter grades for 4 terms : Fall 2015/Fall 2016/Summer 2016/Winter 2016

Let us Use the following Coding System :

A+ = 10

A= 9

B+ =8

B= 7

C+ = 6

C =5

D+ = 4

D =3

E =2

F=1

We see that numerical scores coresponding to 2 and 1 are both Fails.

We can see that the function that best represents the grade distribution is the normal distribution.

The pass rates are calculated as follows = (no. of Passes/ total no. of scores) * 100 %

The different pass rates for different terms are :

THIS CAN BE EASILY HANDLED IN EITHER R OR EXCEL OR EVEN C++ !!
