Hope somebody can help me.
I was provided with an excel spreadsheet for the purpose of determining the pass mark for exams. In the spreadsheet the author has used Standard Deviation to set the pass level. I am told the pass mark by be 2 standard deviations from the mean.
However in the attached example you can see the result is meaningless.
Can anybody help with a formula or better idea?
There was good reasoning behind a lower than 50% pass mark but I think the formula needs some work.
Help the ignorant please.
