Report on Academic Achievement Factors in First-Year Business Students

This assignment presents a statistical analysis investigating the factors influencing the academic achievement of first-year business students. The analysis utilizes data collected from 649 students, including their test scores in core business units, gender, age, education level of their mother, relationship status, and attendance records for lectures and tutorials. The report includes statistical outputs such as GGRAPH visualizations, T-tests comparing the means of different groups (e.g., gender, relationship status) and interpretations of the results. The findings explore the relationships between these variables and student performance, providing insights into potential areas for academic intervention and support. Datasets and survey details are included to enhance understanding of the research context and variables involved.
