Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate gender differences in achievement in statistics, making use of the Population A data of the Second International Mathematics Study (SIMS) conducted by the International Association for the evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). In IEA terms, Population A means all the students in the grade in which most students attain the age of 13.0 to 13.11 years by the middle of the school year.
