### Data Classification

The data collected from a random sample of a wide demographic variety of respondents would give us more insights into how the population, in general, feel about the stereotype versus empowerment advertising. To better understand the average feelings of the advertising, the variables reinforcing and transform are converted to numeric equivalents from the ordinal scale.
 Gender No of Samples Ad Frequency (avg) Stereotype (avg) Stereotype % Reinforcing (avg) Transform (avg) Female 86 46.90697674 45.24418605 96.46% 3.348837209 1.88372093 Male 19 38.89473684 34.94736842 89.85% 2.684210526 1.368421053 Grand Total 105 45.45714286 43.38095238 95.43% 3.228571429 1.79047619

The column charts above show the split of how the Males and Females responded about the degree of reinforcement and the transformation the stereotype or empowering ads do respectively.

Let us now see how respondents with different education levels see these ads

From the above summary of the data, we can say that among the respondents of different educational level, generally, all respondents felt that the proportion of the ads showing stereotype ads are same as the other respondents. Similarly, all respondents also felt that these ads are equally reinforcing the stereotypes. But, respondents with associate degree and JD felt that the empowering ads are more transformational than the rest.
