Your formula is a slick way to address the problem you mention and seems like a better way to determine what should be reviewed. I have used this approach and updated the page that has the results. Click http://primepuzzle.com/tunxis/mml.data.html to see the results. The last column of the results page lists what quiz problems to review. The most important ones are at the top of the list. I measured the data using JavaScript. <script> ratio=[ '23.0/28', '17.0/21', '10.0/13', '6.0/13', '15.0/23', '17.0/25', '10.0/24', '10.0/18', etc. '6.0/12', '3.0/9', '14.0/17', '6.0/20', '3.0/11', '10.0/18' ] M=0 for (i=0;i<ratio.length;++i) { // calculate M, the maximum number of times a question is given attempts=eval(ratio[i].substr(ratio[i].indexOf('/')+1)) if (attempts>M) M=attempts } var foo = new Array() // right/attempts+(M-attempts)*(1-right/attempts)/M for (i=0;i<ratio.length;++i) { ratiov=eval(ratio[i]) attempts=eval(ratio[i].substr(ratio[i].indexOf('/')+1)) foo[i]=ratiov+(M-attempts)*(1-ratiov)/M+'#'+Number(i+1) document.write(foo[i]+'<br>') } </script>The challenge to the not just tiny-c Programming Group: read the quiz data, use the function in red (Pythonized) to rate the quiz questions and sort the results. |
