Class IX Exam Difficulty Comparison

To compare the difficulty levels of the Half-yearly and Annual examinations, we analyze the total number of students who passed or failed each exam across all sections (A, B, C, D).

Student Performance Data for Exam Comparison

Category Section A Section B Section C Section D Total
Students failed in both exams 28 23 17 27 95
Students failed in half-yearly, passed annual 14 12 8 13 47
Students passed half-yearly, failed annual 6 17 9 15 47
Students passed in both exams 64 55 46 76 241
Total Students Per Section 112 107 80 131 430

Pass and Fail Counts Analysis

We aggregate the counts to compare the performance in each exam:

  • Total students passing Half-Yearly Exam = (Passed Half-Yearly, Failed Annual) + (Passed Both)
    = 47 + 241 = 288 students.
  • Total students passing Annual Exam = (Failed Half-Yearly, Passed Annual) + (Passed Both)
    = 47 + 241 = 288 students.
  • Total students failing Half-Yearly Exam = (Failed Both) + (Failed Half-Yearly, Passed Annual)
    = 95 + 47 = 142 students.
  • Total students failing Annual Exam = (Failed Both) + (Passed Half-Yearly, Failed Annual)
    = 95 + 47 = 142 students.

Exam Difficulty Conclusion

The total number of students who passed the Half-yearly exam (288) is identical to the total number who passed the Annual exam (288). Likewise, the total number of students who failed the Half-yearly exam (142) is the same as the total number who failed the Annual exam (142). This consistency in outcomes indicates that both examinations had approximately the same difficulty level.
