Challenges and Successes in Analyzing Gender Distribution Across Student Performance Groups

Gender distribution in each group?

We encountered an error initially due to an incorrect approach in analyzing the gender distribution across groups from the Excel file. After adjusting our method, we successfully loaded the data but the attempt to directly analyze gender distribution was based on an incorrect assumption about the data structure, leading to an inappropriate analysis. Consequently, we were unable to provide the gender distribution across different groups as intended.

Check data structure for accurate gender distribution analysis

The data structure from the Excel file shows that each sheet likely represents a different test or assessment scenario, with columns indicating groups (e.g., Group A, Group B, Group C) and rows indicating gender (Male, Female) followed by scores. The column names are repeated with variations like .1, .2 to differentiate between different instances within the same group. This structure suggests that for gender distribution analysis, we need to consider the second row for gender identification across different groups.
The analysis of gender distribution across all groups in the dataset reveals an equal representation of both genders, with each gender (Male and Female) appearing three times across the groups. This indicates a balanced gender distribution in the dataset's context.

Explore average scores by gender

The analysis of average scores by gender across all groups in the dataset reveals that both males and females have an equal average score of approximately 60.16. This suggests that there is no significant difference in performance between genders within this dataset.
