Book excerpt: For the purpose of this study, students were divided into categories depending on if they participated in athletics and by sex. These students' passage percentage on the Social Studies portion of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE) was compared to attempt to determine if participation in athletics had an effect on the passage rate. The Pearson Chi-Square formula was used to determine the p-value of the results. The results indicated that male and female students that were involved in athletics had higher passage rates on the Social Studies portion of the AHSGE. The results came from a research site in southeast Alabama.
