Analysis:

(I have to preface this analysis that the data is for

the total number of children in the states overall.) In the tw
completely different set of states for its top six. Starting w
each state, it can be seen that California had the highest nu
highest population of children out of all 50 states. Howeve
Question: and Texas are very far away from the other four states pre
How do the Columbia had the had the highest percent of children with d
various states have a consistent downward trend whereas the first chart
who have be because the second graph used data points that were sim
large amounts original data provided by the website was the total number
of students each state. Through formulas, I was able to calculate the
with looking at the top six states for the data set with the numb
disabilities states are on the outside of the country. I find this to b
compare correlation to why they are in the top 6 for this data set. O
geographically percent of students with disabilities are all on the eastern h
and how are also in the southern section of the country and are p
might their category which were very spread out across the country.

cent of students with disabilities may have similar curriculums or processes for identifying
