The following data show the exam grades for two different sections of a statistics class that I teach. The first group of data is from a day section of traditional students. The second group of data is from my evening section, which is comprised mostly of older students who work full-time during the day. These data can also be found in the Excel file statistics grades.xlsx. Note: Consider these data as discrete data because fractional grades will not occur.
