Practice Final Exam:
Here is a practice final exam, and here are solutions.
Final Exam:
Here is the final exam and here are solutions. This test was not short or easy. The mean was 65.7, the median was 68, and the standard deviation was 12.3. I predict that grades between 68 and 100 would be on pace for an A during the term, that grades between 50 and 67 would be on pace for a B, and that grades 49 or below would be on pace for a C.
Notes:
Can an endpoint be a local max? The book and I disagree. Here is an explanation (August 21).
