Syllabus for STAT 1430 Judit Bach

Inalize three research questions relating to your selected dataset. Make sure the variables used in the final questions you select are of the following format:
1. Continuous response and continuous explanatory variable
2. Categorical response and categorical explanatory variable
3. Continuous response and categorical explanatory variable (note: the categorical variable must be dichotomous for this question)
Each research question should have a clear explanatory and response variable. Review, as necessary, the ‘Laerd Statistics’ reading from last week which explains data types and the difference between response variables (also referred to as dependent or outcome variables) and explanatory variables (also referred to as independent or predictor variables).
Then, in your initial post, list your three finalized research questions, indicating the variable types.
For example, using data from the Framingham Heart Study dataset, one question might be: ‘Is there a significant difference in total serum cholesterol levels [TOTCHOL] (continuous-ratio) (response) between smokers and non-smokers [CURSMOKE] (categorical-dichotomous) (explanatory)?’
In your response post to your peers, provide feedback on their finalized research questions, which will become the foundation of each student’s final project. Consider the following questions as you review your peers' research questions:
• Is each research question clearly stated?
• Does each research question relate to the dataset?
• Do the three research questions meet the data type requirements?
• Does each research question identify response and explanatory variables correctly?

The University of Southern North Dakota Testing department needs to write a grading program for multiple choice test. It should be capable of grading tests with up to 50 questions and for any number of students. The program should grade individual exams and calculate the grade for the student based on the number of questions, each being the same value out of 100. For example, if there are 25 questions each is worth 4. This program must be written in Ada.  

The program must also determine how many times each score was earned on the test.  This is a count or frequency. The program must show the number of students graded and the class average.

The program should have 

• an input file. The program asks the user for the name of the file. The file name is entered at the keyboard. All subsequent data is read from the file.
• a score frequency count. Every time a score is computed increment a counter for that value. Any score from 0 to 100 is possible (integer only), so the program needs 101 counters!
• A record type Student_Type containing the student ID and their answers, and t he final grade for the exam.
• A package containing Student_Type as private and operations for reading Student_Type, grading the exam and displaying the student ID and grade.

Behavior not assigned to functions may be done in main.

The program will accept the input file name from the keyboard after prompting the user for the file name.

The first line in the input files contains the number of questions on the exam, the second the answer key, and all following lines contain the student ids and responses to the questions.
