Today in the lab, we used Excel to figure out the probabilities of the grade distribution in a class. In order to find these probabilities, we had to first write algorithims to return the correct grades pending on a student's test score. Luckily for me, I took K201 in the fall and have had experience working with Excel so I found this task to be very easy. We also learned about the Shannon and Harltey measure of probability and information. The Shannon measure is a lot more accurate and precise. The Hartley measure is almost an average and will return the same number no matter how many numbers you are trying to find the Entropy of.
