Student Exam Performance Metrics Analysis

The analysis of student performance in the research exam reveals a mean score of 86.5, with a median of 87.5 and no mode. The variance and standard deviation indicate moderate variation in scores, and 80% of students scored above the passing mark of 80. A weak negative correlation suggests fewer students achieved the highest scores, indicating overall good performance but potential for improvement among lower scorers.

Student Performance Analysis in

Research Exam
a. Mean, Median, and Mode of Exam Scores
Given exam scores: 78, 85, 92, 88, 76, 95, 89, 84, 91, 87

Mean: 86.5
Median: 87.5
Mode: No mode (all values occur only once)

b. Variance, Standard Deviation, and Correlation


Ungrouped data:
Variance: 35.72
Standard Deviation: 5.97

Grouped data (class width = 5):


Class Intervals and Frequencies:
75–79: 2, 80–84: 1, 85–89: 4, 90–94: 2, 95–99: 1

Midpoints: 77, 82, 87, 92, 97


Grouped Mean: 86.5
Grouped Variance: 41.39
Grouped Standard Deviation: 6.43

Correlation between midpoints and frequencies: r ≈ -0.13 (weak negative correlation)

c. Probability of Scoring Above the Passing Mark (80)


Passing Mark: 80
Scores above 80: 85, 92, 88, 95, 89, 84, 91, 87 (8 students)
Total students: 10
Probability = 8 / 10 = 0.8 or 80%

d. Interpretation and Implications


The mean score of 86.5 indicates a generally high performance among students. The median
and mean are close, suggesting a symmetrical distribution. The absence of a mode implies
scores are well distributed without repetition. A standard deviation of approximately 6
shows moderate variation. 80% of the students passed, showing good overall performance.
The slight negative correlation between score groups and their frequencies implies slightly
fewer students achieved the highest scores. These results suggest the exam was fair and
that most students performed well, although there’s room for improvement among the
lower scorers.
