   466    843 

• Percent distribution by gender

female   male 
  35.6   64.4 

Passenger Statistics by Survival

• These data show that fewer passengers survive than did not survive.
  
• However, there are quite a few passengers for whom no survival information is available.

Average Age by Gender

• The average age of passengers on board the Titanic is 30
  
• The average age of female passengers is 29
  
• The average age of male passengers is 31
  

Average Age by Survival

Survivors tended to be younger than those who did not survive.

Average Age by Gender and Survival

Non-surviving females are younger than surviving females. The opposite is true among males.
The youngest group are female non-survivors.

Average Age by Fare Class and Survival

• Passengers booked fares in First, Second, or Third class
  
• First class passengers tended to be older, regardless of survival status
  

Average Age by Fare Class, Gender, and Survival

Among males, those who did not survive tended to be older than survivors, regardless of fare class.
Among females, first class passengers who did not survive were younger than survivors.

Distribution of Passengers by Embarkation Location

The following chart shows the majority of passengers seem to have embarked in Southampton, England, as indicated by the highest bar. This aligns with historical data, considering Southampton was the Titanic’s departure point. Then, the chart also reveals the comparative proportions of passengers embarking in Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown, Ireland.

Distribution of Passengers by Embarkation Location (cont.)

The following chart gives a further analysis to explore potential socio-economic differences among passengers from these locations.

Final Analysis

The insights derived from the chart analysis unveil intriguing disparities in ticket purchasing behavior among passengers based on their embarkation locations. Notably, those embarking in Southampton, England, exhibited a pronounced inclination towards acquiring third-class tickets, surpassing the preferences observed in other embarkation points. In contrast, passengers from Cherbourg, France, displayed a distinctive trend of favoring first-class tickets over those who boarded in Queenstown, Ireland. The discernible divergence of 36 first-class tickets between passengers originating from England and France suggests a potential variance in socio-economic status. This finding aligns seamlessly with historical records, underscoring Cherbourg’s historical reputation as a departure point favored by wealthier passengers. The intersection of data and historical context provides a rich narrative, offering insights into the socio-economic dynamics that influenced passengers’ choices in ticket classes during the Titanic’s voyage.
