A Mass of Probability

First midterm has a graduate student has come and gone. I think it went well. But if I didn't well, probably so did many other people. I'd say the probability mass function for the scores would fit a Rayleigh distribution.

The relationship between graduate students and undergraduate students is something people should explore more. Well, it's more what preconceptions do undergrads have about graduate students. For example, a common question I've gotten after I tell someone I am a graduate student is, "How old are you?" I have no figures on the average age of 1st year graduate students, but I've gotta imagine it's about 23. Of course this puts me on the spot a little.
