Summary Statistics for Exam 2

The results are in for the second exam, and here are some brief summary statistics:

Total Number of Exams: 19
Mean score: 75.79
Modes: 74 (3 exams), 76 (3 exams) and 88 (3 exams)
Range: 54 to 88 (the full description is below)

CURVE: There is no curve for this test.

NOTE(!): I regressed the effect of attendance on overall grade for the exam. After controlling for several other factors, missing one class decreased a test score by over 3 points, on average. Attendance matters!
