Team Name :Simple
Team Member: Adriana, Jorge, Elora, Hannah


Problem: why not everybody was able to survive in the Donner Party?

Hypothesis: Were there any relations among gender, age, and marital
status to have more or less opportunity of survive?

Methodology: . Searching information about the issue.
                     .  Analyzing data drawn from the statistics teacher attached on the board.
                     . Sharing   our own point of view with the team
                    
Result:   . Two thirds of women  survived.
             . Two thirds of  men  died.
             . All the adult male who survied the entrapment were fathers.
             . All the bachelors (singleman over 21 age) who were
               trapped  died.
              . Half of the children died.

Conclusion : Analyzing the data, we observed that men had less chance to survive under those
                   conditions. It may be because they have a feeling of  protect women and kids.
                   They usually also have an aggressive behavior and want to impose their
                   thought. Those who have the family must have had support for surviving
                   more than those who were single.
