An initial analysis was done taking into account the characteristics of the comprehensive assessments according to the methodology for questions 3, 5 and 7 respectively. Data files were created through the free professional statistic software (PSPP), developing an algorithm to answer the problem, and taking into consideration the facilities of its programming language.

Results:
