Average         =  Sum of grades divided by number of exams
Stand Deviation =  Shows dispersion of grades. Roughly, 2/3 of the grades are
                   within 75 +/- 20 , and 95% within  75 +/-  2*20 if ave is 75 and std 20
Median          =  Half of the students got that much or less 
                   (and half, more than that).
