STATISTICAL PROCESSING OF RESULTS OF TESTING OF STUDENTS by Yulia V. Gumennikova, Elena N. Ryabinova, Ruzilya N. Chernitsina

“…Provides statistical analysis of the results of testing of students involved in the experiment conducted by the Department of Higher Mathematics at the Samara State University of Railways, since the resulting test data (rates of assimilation of educational information), which are taken as random variables are a set of numbers, which is difficult to detect any pattern of change (variation). Built interval variation series calculated the most important numerical characteristics of random variable - the sample mean (arithmetic mean value of the flag of sample), the sample variance (the arithmetic average of the squared deviations of the observed values of the trait from their average values) and sample standard deviation was given the opportunity to build a histogram of relative frequencies - a stepped shape consisting of rectangles whose bases are partial intervals, and the height equal to the density of the relative frequency. …”
