The objective of this analysis is to determine whether males and females differ significantly in terms of the mean percentage of students who attend at least 80% of the time inside a regular class. The sample corresponds to figures from all 50 states (including BIE schools) for male a female students aged 6 – 21. A standard t-test for comparing two samples will be used for the analysis.

The data is quantitative in nature and consists of 52 cases of which 50 are valid. The dataset is obtained from the U.S. Department of Education ( http://www.ed.gov/pubs/OSEP95AnlRpt/index.html ). For each state we have the percentage of males and females who attend at least 80% of the time inside a regular class. The complete report found in the Education Department’s website also includes data for students age 3-5, but those students won’t be included in this study. See the data in the Appendix.

In order to compare whether males and females differ significantly in terms of the mean percentage of students who attend at least 80% of the time inside a regular class a two-independent samples t-test is performed, and the assumptions required for the test are assessed. These procedures include assessing the normality of the distributions being analyzed and the homogeneity of variances.
