Investigating relationships between student marks and majors taken. A descriptive and inferential statistics using SAS

Project Report from the year 2016 in the subject Mathematics - Statistics grade: Bsc (Hons) course: Data Analysis And Exploration IV language: English abstract: Our investigation set out to determine if there was a relationship between the number of majors a student took and their likely achievement. We cleaned the data removing missing values and unnecessary attributes. We then transformed the data and performed statistical tests to acquire both descriptive and inferential statistics. Our investigation discovered the association between majors taken and results obtained. Students majoring only in applied maths were found to be more likely to pass than students doing a double major. In addition students in different fields had different chances of succeeding. The University can now determine appropriate actions to take to increase its students' performance.
