Assignment 15: Rolling a 6-Sided Dice

In this assignment, you need to simulate rolling a 6-sided dice. Each roll will generate a random number
between 1 and 6.

1. In cell A1, type the label "Roll Number".

2. In cell B1, type the label "Dice Roll".
3. In cells A2 to A101, type the numbers 1 through 100 (these will represent 100 dice rolls).
4. In cell B2, generate a random number between 1 to 6 to simulate the roll of a 6-sided dice.
5. Drag the formula from B2 down to B101 to generate 100 random dice rolls.

You now have a column with 100 simulated dice rolls.

Calculate the frequency of Each Dice Face

1. In cell D1, type the label "Dice Face".

2. In cells D2 to D7, type the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (these represent the possible faces of the
dice).
3. In cell E1, type the label "Frequency".
4. In cell E2, enter the following formula to count how many times the number 1 appeared in your
dice rolls. Also, count the occurrences of numbers 2 through 6. You should now have the frequency
of each dice face from your 100 simulated rolls.
5. Now, you will visualize the frequency distribution of the dice rolls using a bar chart. The chart will
appear on your worksheet, displaying the frequency of each dice face. You can format the chart
by adding a title like "Distribution of Dice Rolls" and adjusting the axis labels if needed.

Calculate the Percentage of Each Dice Face

Calculate the percentage of times each dice face appears in the 100 rolls.
Assignment 16: Attendance Tracker

Design your sheet with relevant columns for the tracker. You can consider the following structure:

● Column A: Student Name

● Column B: ID (optional, if you need unique identifiers)
● Column C: Date (to track the date of attendance)
● Column D onward: Attendance for each day (e.g., 01/10/2024, 02/10/2024, etc.)

For the Attendance columns, add data validation to restrict entries. You can limit entries to:

● "P" (Present)
● "A" (Absent)
● "L" (Late)
● "H" (Holiday)

To make the attendance visually clear, use Conditional Formatting to change the color of cells based on
attendance status.

● For Present (P), you could choose a Green fill.

● For Absent (A), use a Red fill.
● For Late (L), choose an Orange fill.
● For Holidays (H), use a Blue fill

To make the tracker more functional, you can add formulas that calculate:

● Total Present: Count the number of "P" entries for each student.
● Total Absent: Count the number of "A" entries
● Total Late: Count the number of "L" entries.
● Attendance Percentage: Calculate the percentage of present days out of total days

For a professional touch, you can create a Dashboard in a new worksheet that shows:

● Total attendance for the month (for each person).

● Summary of average attendance percentage for the group.
● Charts showing the distribution of absences, lates, and presents.

To do this, you may use Charts (Bar, Pie, or Column charts) to visualize attendance data.
Assignment 17: Data Filtering

Filter the worksheet to show

a) Female students from Reserved category

b) Male students from TY

c) Open category students paying fees > 3000
