Question 2:(20 marks)


Given the following data:

Name, MTA, TMA, CA, Final, LGrade,


Samir,25,18,0,60,x,
Abir,18,13,0,50,x,
Fouad,10,2,0,55,x,
Najwa,15,14,0,53,x,
Dany,10,5,0,40,x,
Suzan,27,17,0,80,x,
Jamil,16,15,0,33,x,
Abdullah,23,16,0,78,x,
Nawaf,29,18,0,92,x,
Yasser,21,19,0,85,x,
Each record contains the student’s name, an MTA grade (out of 30), a TMA grade
(out of 20), an uncalculated Continuous Assessment grade, a final exam grade (out
of 100), and an unissued Letter Grade.

Note that CA grade = MTA + TMA grades.

The letter grade is issued based on the following criteria:

o If the CA grade is <15 or the Final exam< 20/50, then the letter Grade
is F, and you don’t need to check the below conditions. Otherwise, the
final grade = CA grade + Final exam /2.
o After checking above, the letter grade will be as follows:
✓ If the final grade >=90 ➔ A
✓ If 77<=final grade <90 ➔ B
✓ If 65<=final grade <77 ➔ C
✓ If 50<=final grade <65 ➔ D
✓ If the final grade <50 ➔ F

Using “csv” and “table_utils” modules, you are asked to do the following:

1- Create a text file, Std_Grades, and copy the above data to it.
2- Write a python program that does the following:
a. Read the contents of the file Std_Grades into a new list, std_List and
then print the list.
b. Create a new list, table1, that includes the items of std_List without the
first row that contains the titles.
c. Create a new list, table2, that includes the items of table1 without any
column that is found after the column of the x’s.
d. Create a new list, table3, that will be used to convert the numerical
values of table2 from string to float and then print the list.
e. Create a new list, tableCA, to calculate the CA grade for each student
in table3 and place it in the CA position in the list and then print the list.
f. Create a new list, tableLG, to calculate the letter grade for each
student in tableCA according to the mentioned criteria and place it in
the LGrade position in the list and print the name of the student and
his/her letter grade.
The expected output should be as follows:
