The document discusses analyzing SAT score data from different states and the relationship between average SAT scores and amount of funding per student. It finds that states that spend more per student do not necessarily have higher average SAT scores. Dividing spending per student by average salary in each state finds proportional spending but Southern states still have higher scores despite spending less per student than Northeastern states. Possible explanations given are fewer students take the SAT in the South and money may be used more efficiently in Southern public schools.
