WHS 2019 STATS
May 15, 2019
These are the results of this year’s surveys from WHS statistics students. Every year we do a huge project surveying many WHS students. The students gave me permission to post these results with their names. They deserve the credit for all their work. Please note that through a process of surveys and a lot of math, these numbers predict with 95% confidence the actual population data for ALL students at WHS. I really hope you all read them. HAVE A GREAT END OF THE YEAR!!
