note:

(a)

In order for the dependent variables to be normally distributed, the natural log (ln) of gender equity ratios for the different types of AP enrollment were used.

(b)

Sample sizes varied due to the exclusion of schools in the analyses that indicated no enrollment for females or males in either AP math, AP science, AP foreign language, or being enrolled in at least one AP course.
