Overview

A simple project to practice:

  • basic statistics (distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing)
  • many Python programming concepts
  • programmatically interacting with files and directories
  • visualizations
  • EDA
  • working with Jupyter notebooks for development and reporting

Datasets

These data give average SAT and ACT scores by state, as well as participation rates, for the graduating class of 2017.

You can see the source for the SAT data here, and the source for the ACT data here.

Additional Data

2018 state-by-state average results and participation for the SAT are available in PDF reports here. 2018 ACT state-by-state mean composite scores and participation rates are here .

Deliverables

  • A Jupyter notebook that describes the data with visualizations & statistical analysis
