 Analysis of Data

The data shows that 60% of the student population is male, while 40% are female.
This distribution suggests a slightly higher proportion of male students in the school.
The majority of students (40%) report spending above $500 daily, indicating a
significant portion of the population has relatively high disposable income or financial
support. Grade 9 has the highest enrolment at 25%, followed by Grade 7 at 20%. This
distribution may reflect standard grade progression or school population dynamics.
60% of students believe the cost for lunch is not reasonable, while 40% believe it is
reasonable. Reasons for deeming lunch costs unreasonable could include perceived
lack of value for money, limited food options, or financial constraints faced by
students or their families. Public transportation is the most common commuting
method, utilized by half of the students surveyed. This could be due to accessibility,
cost-effectiveness, or environmental considerations.
