Analyse Student Exam Results: Section A Pass Percentage

The question asks us to find the percentage of students in Section A who passed the annual exam. In the context of midterm and final exams, the "annual exam" usually refers to the final exam. We need to determine the total number of students in Section A and the number of students in Section A who passed the final exam based on the provided data table.

Result Section A Section B
Total number of students who failed in both the exams 28 23
Number of students who failed in the midterm but passed in the final exam 14 12
Number of students who passed in the midterm but failed in the final exam 6 17
Number of students who passed in both the exams 64 55

Understanding the Student Data for Section A

Let's focus on the data provided for Section A:

  • Students who failed in both the midterm and final exams: 28
  • Students who failed the midterm but passed the final exam: 14
  • Students who passed the midterm but failed the final exam: 6
  • Students who passed in both the midterm and final exams: 64

Identifying Students Who Passed the Annual Exam (Final Exam)

To find the percentage of students who passed the annual exam (which we interpret as the final exam), we need to count all students in Section A who achieved a passing grade in the final exam. This includes two categories of students:

  • Students who failed the midterm but passed the final exam.
  • Students who passed in both the midterm and final exams.

Students who failed in both exams or passed the midterm but failed the final exam did not pass the final exam.

Step-by-Step Calculation of Section A Pass Percentage

Step 1: Calculate the Total Number of Students in Section A

The total number of students in Section A is the sum of students in all categories:

Total Students in Section A $=$ (Failed both) $+$ (Failed midterm, Passed final) $+$ (Passed midterm, Failed final) $+$ (Passed both)

Total Students in Section A $= 28 + 14 + 6 + 64$

Total Students in Section A $= 112$

Step 2: Calculate the Number of Students in Section A who Passed the Final Exam

The students who passed the final exam are those who failed the midterm but passed the final PLUS those who passed both:

Students Passed Final in Section A $=$ (Failed midterm, Passed final) $+$ (Passed both)

Students Passed Final in Section A $= 14 + 64$

Students Passed Final in Section A $= 78$

Step 3: Calculate the Percentage of Students in Section A who Passed the Annual (Final) Exam

The percentage is calculated using the formula:

Percentage Passed Final $=$ $\left( \frac{\text{Number of students passed final}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100$

Percentage Passed Final in Section A $=$ $\left( \frac{78}{112} \right) \times 100$

Now, let's perform the calculation:

$\frac{78}{112} \approx 0.69642857...$

Percentage Passed Final in Section A $\approx 0.69642857... \times 100$

Percentage Passed Final in Section A $\approx 69.642857...$

Rounding to two decimal places, the percentage is approximately 69.64.

Conclusion on Section A Annual Exam Results

Based on the data and calculations, the percentage of Section A students who passed the annual exam (final exam) is approximately 69.64%.

Comparing this result with the given options, we find that 69.64 matches one of the options.

Additional Information: Percentage Calculations in Data Analysis

Percentages are a fundamental tool in data analysis, especially when dealing with proportions or rates, like student pass rates. Calculating percentages helps in comparing different groups or understanding the distribution of outcomes. For instance, comparing the pass percentage of Section A with Section B could give insights into the performance differences between the two sections. This type of analysis is common in educational statistics to evaluate performance and identify areas for improvement.
