Potential Research Questions
Inferential: How do the scores for certain exams compare between different sub populations (ex. male / female, aboriginal / non-aboriginal, public / private school)? Ex. Do students in private school perform better than students in publicly funded schools on numeracy exams?
Predictive: What score on a specific exam type (ex. numeracy) will a child in a specific sub population (ex. aboriginal) get within a BC publicly funded school based on their:
Predictive: Will the score from Grade 4 influence how they'll perform in Grade 7?

Potential Research Questions
Inferential: How do the average physical features(eg. length, diameter, height, weight) differ between different genders? Ex. Is male abalones' average length significantly different from female's?
Predictive: How many rings do a specific abalone have given a set of features:
(May need feature selection to improve model performance)

Closing this issue because we've decided on a dataset (see Project Proposal issue for more detail): FSA Dataset
We'll need to pick a dataset to work with, so this thread is to add possible datasets for discussion during our team meeting.
