both are ≈ 6.67.

So perhaps you'd want something like this

|   | Name      |     Grade | Question 1 | Question 2 | Question 3 |
| ! |           |     grade | q1         |            | q3         |
| _ |           |         g |            |            |            |
| / | Coeff     |         6 | 1          |          3 | 2          |
|---+-----------+-----------+------------+------------+------------|
| * | Foo       |      6.67 | 1/2        |          1 | 1/4        |
| * | Bar       |      6.67 | 1          |          1 | 0          |
| * | Baz       |       7.5 | 1          |        3/2 | -1/2       |
|---+-----------+-----------+------------+------------+------------|
| _ |           |      mean |            |        max |            |
|   | Mean      | 6.9444445 | std.dev.   | 0.48112521 |            |
| $ | Constants |  magic=10 |            |            |            |
|---+-----------+-----------+------------+------------+------------|
#+TBLFM: $g=vsum($q1..$q3):: $3=round(@I-1$q1..@I-1$q3*$q1..$q3*$magic/$g,2)::
#+TBLFM: $mean=vmean(@I$grade..II$grade)::$max=vsdev(@I$grade..II$grade)

It even exports pretty tables so you could hardly wish for more.
