SECTION A:
Instructions:
- Use the following data file for this section
- Remember the honor code.
- This section is worth a total of 37.5 points.
- In addition to responding to multiple-choice questions, you need to submit an updated data file with your name appended to the front of the filename (e.g. firstname_lastname_filename).
- Create 2 new columns as follows:
- The first new column shows the outcome when you calculate the total score for a school as a combination of 'critical reading mean' + 'mathematics mean' + 'writing mean'.
- The second column will use a vlookup() function to segment the performance of a school according to the following Table:
Total score |
Performance |
0-1099 |
D |
1100-1199 |
C |
1200-1399 |
B |
1400+ |

Question 1 15 pts
Create a pivot table on a new sheet to calculate how many schools were in each performance category. Show the outcome in both a table and a pie chart.
