Abstract

The exploratory study of mathematics entrance exam results for upper secondary education in the province of Camagüey aims to contribute to the improvement of mathematics education, enhancing the quality of the comprehensive training of pre-university and basic secondary students. Furthermore, a classification of students into 'pass' or 'fail' was performed based on the question results. Regarding the classification algorithms, BayesNet, NaiveBayes, Logistic, MultilayerPerceptron, and SMO achieved an accuracy (ACC) of 95% or higher in at least one of the two requests, while Complement Naive Bayes, OneR, PART, Ridor, and ZeroR obtained an accuracy of 63% or lower in at least one of the two requests.
