The College Scorecard

The college scorecard is a data set collected and provided by the US Department of education. Each row of this data set is a post-secondary educational institution and each column describes something about the institution.

Summary Statistics

Here is a collection of summary statistics that I find interesting about this data.

## # A tibble: 1 × 3
##   `Most Expensive Tuition` `Most Students` `Average Acceptance Rate`
##                      <dbl>           <dbl>                     <dbl>
## 1                    93704           77269                     0.682

An institution has a total number of students equal to a medium-size city and I imagine that is not the same institution charging over 93k for tuition every year.

A Hypothesis

Does average SAT scores influence the tuition cost of the school?

There is a general trend that the higher the Average SAT score of and institution, the higher the tuition cost is for the institution
