NumPy Homework for Analytics Students

This document describes Homework #5 which involves writing a Python function to analyze student grade data from a .csv file. The function takes in a filename, number of exams, and homework weight. It returns 5 pieces of information about the grades: (1) the average of HW1, (2) sorted grades of HW2, (3) students with 90+ on HW1 and HW3, (4) students with 80 or below on HW1 and 90+ on HW2, and (5) each student's weighted average grade rounded to 1 decimal place. The function uses NumPy to work with and return the data.

Homework #5 – Working with NumPy

Due Date: To Be Determined

Sometimes source data aren’t in a format that we would’ve designed. The purpose of this assignment
is to help you practice using numpy and to work with poorly formatted data.

Assignment Details

You need to write a function that calculates some statistics about student grades in a particular
course.

• Your function should be in a Python script named UCASEUBUSERNAME [Link]; replace


UCASEUBUSERNAME with your UB user name in all caps.
• Within this python script, you should write a function named gradeInfo.
• The gradeInfo() function will be called as follows:
gradeInfo(filename, numExams, hwWeight)
– See UCASEUBUSERNAME [Link] for information about these three input parameters.

Your gradeInfo() function should do the following:

1. Import the given .csv file. See grades [Link], which describes the structure of input
files.
2. Return the following five (5) pieces of information, in this order:

(a) Find the average of HW1.


Return this as a scalar value in the range [0, 100].
(b) Sort the grades in descending order for HW2 (best grades first).
Return as a (n x 2) numpy array. There are n rows, where each row is a student. The
first column returned should be the student ID, the second column is the score on HW2
(as a score in the range [0, 100]).
(c) Find the students who made 90 or above on both HWs 1 and 3.
Return as a 1-dimensional numpy array, just containing ID numbers.
(d) Find the number of students who made 80 or below on HW1 and 90 or above on HW2.
Return as a scalar integer.
(e) Each homework is equally weighted. Find each student’s current average grade, rounded
to 1 decimal place, in the range [0, 100].
Return as a (n x 2) numpy array. There are n rows in the source data, where each row is
a unique student. The first column to be returned is the student ID, the second column
is the weighted score in the range [0, 100].

1
• For example, suppose a student had the following scores:
Homework: 9/10, 4/5, 35/50. Exam1: 85/100

If hwWeight = 0.4, the student’s average grade is ( ( (9/10 + 4/5 + 35/50)/3 ) *


0.4 + ( (85/100)/1 ) * (1 - 0.4) ) * 100 = 83.0
