Stats and exams

I haven't written poems in quite a while,
So now that I'm exams invigilating
A task that, trust me, is seriously boring
I'll write a couple of rhymes just to kill time.

Finding the means, variances, covariances,
Probabilities through normal approximations,
And all sorts of weird calculations,
All with symmetric positive matrices.

I now sense one of my student's freaking out
Watched her test, she's not even in problem five!
But right now I can answer her no doubt

Told her to breathe slowly, think, hold on and strive,
And although she's about to cry and shout,
From exams one always walks away alive.
