Each bar is scaled so that the most common grade is full height. The blue vertical line represents the weighted average of all grades in the range A+ to D-; the red bar also includes grades of W and F in this average. (The "dept ave" column is registrar-generated, and includes Fs but not Ws. It'd fall somewhere between the two bars, usually closer to the blue one, but I didn't draw it in.)
