(NAEP) National Assessment of Educational Progress

In this assignment were asked to look at the (NAEP) National Assessment of Educational Progress data and compare other states to West Viriginia to see where we were, and if we were on average on below average. Here this is were the data can be found and what can be measured. Once I put in my Gender, Math, and year, I put the data into a excel document. I noticed that their were 5 states below WV. It seemed that we were below average. After taking the average on the states below 260.46. The overall average of students was 282.5.
The next step to the assignment asked to look and see if the boys were smarter than the girls. By looking at the data, I found there was not a significant amount from the results.

By looking at the results and dealing with the activity , I believe this assignment reflects Standard 1 and 5.
