Question: The file contains a dataset of a researcher interested in finding the best way to educate elementary age children in mathematics.

In the dataset, you will find the following variables:

Participant: unique identifier

Gender: Male (M) or Female (F)

Classroom:

Small (1) - no more than 10 children

Medium (2) - between 11 and 19 children

Large (3) - 20 or more children

Score: final score on the statewide competency assessment.
