This is a question that had been bothering me too...From some of the activities, I figured out that 2.25 has been treated as 2, and 2.75 has been rounded to 3. Is this correct?

Would like our stats geeks to confirm...

Hi,

Any number between (2, 3] will be rounded off to 3. That is whether it is 2.25 or 2.75, Datapoint at the 3rd position will be considered.

Thanks,
