Year 7- =Int(Rand()*283)+1
Year 8- =Int(Rand()*270)+283
Year 9- =Int(Rand()*260)+553
Year 10- =Int(Rand()*200)+814
Year 11- =Int(Rand()*170)+1014
Then I had to copy the formulae and paste it into the same number of cells as 10% of the total students in that year. Then I noted down each of the numbers because they change once anything is changed on the spreadsheet. I copied each of the students data from the corresponding number and then formed a smaller spreadsheet which I have place next in the project.
Section 1
Quantitative Data
Quantitative data in this project are as follows:
Year Group
Age in Months and Years
IQ
Height
Weight
Distance they live from school
Number of Siblings
Number of Pets
SAT Levels
The first one in this list is not needed because it is pointless working average year group at this stage because I am working out year group averages meaning there all in the same year group.
For age in months and Years I simply need to add up the data and divide by the number of students selected in the sample. Here is an example of how I got the results.
Because its impossible for some one to be 11.7 years and 4.7 months I have rounded each to the nearest whole number.
Year 7:
Years Average: 11.892 = 12
Month Average: 7.357 = 7
Year 8:
Years Average: 12.925 = 13
Month Average: 4.962 = 5
Year 9:
Years Average: 13.960 = 14
Month Average: 4.702 = 5
Year 10:
Years Average: 14.702 = 15
Month Average: 5.174 = 5
Year 11:
Years Average: 15.507 = 16
Month Average: 5.858 = 6
The rest of the Numerical data can be done exactly the same as age. I need not to show how it is done because I have already shown your for the age part.

No. of Siblings = 2.4282
No. of Pets = 2.402
English SAT = 4.128

On much of the data I not given the rounded figure. This is not because I’m lazy but instead there is a use for take the average of each year which is to see how students improve as they progress through the school. I will evaluate at the end of the data handling how I think students are improving through each year.
Section 2
Qualitative Data
Qualitative data is data in which letters are placed. These are the data titles which contain qualitative data:
Surname
Forename
Month Born
Gender
Hair Colour
Eye Colour
Left or Right handed
Favourite things
Surname and Forename are impossible to find an average for and we have already worked out month born in section 1. There for I will star with Gender. The following hand drawn graphs show the distribution of females and males throughout the school.
I have also done the rest of the possible graphs. The largest bar is the one which the most students are or prefer, this is the one which will be entered into the average as the medium.
From the data I can produce these as the average students of each year:
Year 7
Surname = Not applicable

Now I am going to give you the data of the total average student at Mayfield High school:
Age in months and Years = 14 years 6 months
Gender = Female
Hair Colour = Brown
Eye Colour = Blue
Left or Right handed = Right handed
IQ = 102
Height (m) = 1.6912
Weight (Kg) = 4.9952
Distance they live from school (kilometres) = 4.089
Number of Siblings = 2.4282
Numbers of Pets = 2.402
English SAT level = 4.128
Math SAT level = 4.069
Science SAT level = 4.227
Favourite colour = Blue
The reason I produced year averages was to make it possible to see how students are improving and how they develop through the school.
