16. Simple Statistical Example
Student test scores are scaled to produce grades which have an average of 80 and standard deviation of 15:% cat grades.ss a0:d0 = { "grade", "score", "avg", "stdev"}; mean = avg(b1:b5); c1 = mean; d1 = stdev(b1:b5); a1 = 80+15*(b1-mean)/$d$1; // scaled scores copy a2:a5 a1:a4; b1:b5 = { 57, 67, 92, 87, 76 }; // raw scores eval; print symbols values formulas pointers; % SS --Table grades.ss
mean = avg(B1:B5) = 75.8
