We are only assuming the grade A, where there grades are A, B, C, D, and F. There are 5 units with 2 papers in each unit. Each paper can get the same grade of A, B, C, D, and F. These letter grades are broken down into points where each unit is worth 200 points with a possible total of 1000 points for the whole 5 unit course. Each paper in each unit is different points where one paper is 125 points and the other is 75 points. A is 1000 to 900 pts, B is 899 to 800, C 799 to 700, D is 699 to 600, and F is 599 and below. We are not considering getting an incomplete or any other issues just the grades. Do I not even worry about the points and only concentrate on the letter grades? Such there is a 1 in 5 chance of getting an A for the whole class or 1 in 5 chance of getting an A for each paper or unit or all of them? I want to know the steps to do this. Can anyone give an example of such a problem so that I can apply to my own homework.
