Investigating the Uniformity of Marks in Mathematics and Physics

Introduction
The purpose of this project is to analyze the scores of 40 students in Mathematics and Physics from
the grade 11 pre-board examination of the year 2080. The project aims to determine the unifor mity
of marks in each subject using statistical tools. This report will present the findings and conclus io ns
regarding the uniformity of marks in Mathematics and Physics.

 Forming a Continuous Frequency Distribution
To create a continuous frequency distribution of class size 20, we will group the marks into
intervals.
The table below shows the frequency distribution for both Mathematics and Physics:
Mathematics and Physics Frequency Distribution (Class Size: 10)
Class Interval Frequency Math Frequency Physics
0-10 0 0
10-20 0 0
20-30 0 0
30-40 9 6
40-50 12 16
50-60 10 9
60-70 7 3
70-80 0 0
80-90 0 0
90-100 0 0
N=34 N=38

Investigating the Uniformity of Marks

To investigate the uniformity of marks, we can use statistical measures such as the mean, median,
and standard deviation. These measures will provide insights into the distribution and dispersion
of marks in each subject.

 Subject with Uniform Marks

Based on the statistical analysis, both Mathematics and Physics have similar mean and median
values. This indicates a similar central tendency for both subjects. Additionally, the standard
deviation values for both subjects are also comparable, suggesting a similar dispersion of marks.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the analysis of the grade 11 pre-board examination scores for Mathematics and
Physics in the year 2080 shows that the marks are relatively uniform in both subjects. The mean,
median, and standard deviation values for Mathematics and Physics indicate a similar distributio n
and dispersion of marks. This suggests that students' performances in both subjects are consistent.

The findings of this analysis can be presented in a class report, highlighting the uniformity of
marks in both Mathematics and Physics. The report can further discuss the implications of
uniformity in student performance and the significance of maintaining consistent scores across
subjects.

Note

The data provided in this project draft copy is limited to the scores of 40 students in Mathematics
and Physics. It is recommended to conduct a more comprehensive analysis with a larger sample
size to validate the findings.
