Minor I results
The minor results are out and it is nothing spectacular: the average is close to36 and the standard deviation is 21. The maximum is 97 and the minimum is (you guessed it!) 0. More interesting is the stem-leaf plot of the results, which is given below. You read this plot as follows. The first column is the frequency, that is the number of students with marks in a particular range. For example, the second line says that there are 19 students with marks between 00 and 09 followed by the marks obtained by them. In this range the stem is 0 and the leaves could, in principle, vary between 0 and 9 although here we find that 5 students got 00 marks, one student got 03 marks, and 13 students got 05 marks. The third line has the number of students with marks in the range 10 to 19 and the marks they obtained and so on. n: 220

Just in (Apr. 8, 2013): Minor II results
The minor performance this time is, in some sense, an improvement from the first. The average is over 45 (up by over 8) and the standard deviation is 17 (down by 4). More importantly, there are only 17 people with marks between 0 and 20 compared to 51 in the first minor. The highest is down to 84 (lower by 13!). Here is the stem-leaf plot of marks obtained by the 215 students who took the test. n: 215
