2-5 MB Q1. How many schools report average SAT scores? 1304 schools Q2. What is the average completion rate (C150 4) of all the schools? 0.47795(47%) average completion rate. Q3. How many schools report data to the U.S. Department of Education? 7282 schools report data to the U.S. Department of Education. 2-5 Analysis Questions (LO 2-3) AQ1. In the checksums, you validated that the average SAT score for all of the records is 1,059.07. When we work with the data more rigorously, several tests will require us to transform NULL or blank values. If you were to transform the NULL SAT values into 0, what would happen to the average (would it stay the same, decrease, or increase? Average marks will decease as number students with 0 marks will increase.
AQ2. How would that change to the average affect the way you would interpret the data? NULL values into 0 may introduce bias or misrepresentation in the data. A score of 0 may not accurately reflect the actual performance of the students who originally had NULL SAT values. It's crucial to consider the reasons for missing data and whether assigning a 0 is a valid representation. AQ3. What would happen if we excluded all schools that don't report an average SAT score? Ans. The interpretation will be more accurate and not misleading.
