FCI/gender/HS physics data update

[schwarz@vassar.edu (Cindy Schwarz)]

My student just sent me this update for the FCI data that I previously
mentioned.  I have not analyzed it any further.  Here's her results

        Male            Female          No response
yes     10              24              5
no      1               2               1
noreply 9               8               32

of all positively identified males, 50% had hs physics
of all positively identified males who 
specifically answered the question "have you
had hs physics," 91% said that they had hs physics.

11% of all test takers are positively id'd males who had
hs physics.

of all positively identified females, 71% had hs physics
of all positively identified females who specifically answered
the question" have you had hs physics,
92% said that they had hs physics.

26% of all test takers are positively identified females
who had hs physics.

53% of all test takers' genders are unknown.
15% of those respondants said they had had hs physics.
83% of those who answered the question answered positively.

22% of all test takers were male.

37% of all test takers were female.

%error = 3.

> From this data (and the numbers are small) it does not seem to me that
having had hs physics was the factor that caused the gap in those questions
I reported on.  Right John?

Comments anyone else?
