Extra Credit Assignment: Midterm Grades

Complete Midterm progress grades have been computed for both MEDB5501 Biostatistics I classes. All students now have exact grades up to and including the midterm exam. You can calculate your number grade based on the scale of 0-100 by dividing your point total by the total points possible (218) up to and including the midterm exam.

I have run the descriptive analysis as well as a test to compare the two class’s mean grades for complete midterm grades. The data has been de-identified. No student can see the individual grade for any other student or the class section. All pertinent tables and graphs are found in this document.

Part 1: Write-up: Using all of the output provided, write one summary paragraph write-up of the midterm progress grades for both classes together and for each class individually all within the same write-up. This should be a summary paragraph. There will be no points given for summarizing each table or graph separately with no included summary write-up.

Part 2: A. Calculate your grade: Your point total/218 (Important! I am grading the Chi Square HW this week. This will increase your total points by up to 20 points. If you see that you have a grade for the Chi Square HW, subtract 20 points from YOUR point total and then divide that total by 218. You can also sum your individual grades for all point possibilities up to and including the Midterm Exam. Should you want to be sure about your midterm progress point total please email me and I will send it to you. I have these midterm progress totals recorded.

B. Complete the following:

i. Calculate the z-score for your 0-100 grade relative to the combined classes mean. Show all work.

ii. Report this z-score and also report if your score is significantly different from the combined classes mean. (Use the Z score for p<.05 (Z = ± 1.96) for this decision).

iii. Using your z-score and the table of z-scores below, report the percentile rank of your midterm progress grade relative to the combined classes. Pay attention to positive and negative values. (Example: A z-score of +1.92 = .9726 = 97.26 percentile while a z-score of -1.92 = 2.74 percentile)
