Attendance vs Performance

In the Table below:

Column 3 (Grade A):    The average attendance of students who got 93% or higher for the course.
Column 4 (Grade <C-): The average attendance of students who got 69% or lower for the course.
Column 6 (100% Attendance): The average performance (scores) of students who attended 100% of classes.
Column 7 (<90% Attendance): The average performance (scores) of students who attended <90% of classes.
Column 9 (Attendance of Top): The attendance of students who got the highest scores in their groups.
Column 10 (Attendance of Bottom): The attendance of students who got the lowest scores in their groups.

Quick analysis:

1. Overall, students who got A had better attendance than students who got <C- (columns 3 and 4).
Vice versa, students who attended all classes had better scores than students who attended
<90% of classes (columns 6 and 7). In short, better attendance, better performance and vice versa.

2. Most students who got the best scores in their groups attended all classes and have never been late (column 9).
Almost all students who got the lowest scores in their groups missed at least one class (column 10).
