As an instructor, I used statistics:
1. When I am computing the grades of my students at the end of the semester.
2. When I am comparing different teaching strategies applied in the different blocks of my handled
course (Mathematics in the Modern World).
3. When I am analyzing and interpreting the result of my assessment.
4. When I am correlating the academic performance of my students in MMW as to their ages or
gender.
Example 1. Computation of students’ grades at the end of the semester.
