# Technical Document Extraction: Student Distribution by Academic Level and Year ## 1. Image Overview This image is a stacked bar chart illustrating the distribution of students across three academic levels, further categorized by their year of study. The chart uses color-coded segments to represent different years and provides numerical labels for both individual segments and total counts per category. ## 2. Component Isolation ### A. Header / Legend * **Location:** Top-center [approx. x=0.5, y=0.15 relative to the chart area]. * **Title:** "Year" * **Categories & Colors:** * **1st Year:** Blue (#0072B2) * **2nd Year:** Gold/Yellow (#E69F00) * **3rd Year:** Green (#009E73) * **4th Year+:** Burnt Orange (#D55E00) ### B. Main Chart Area (Axes) * **Y-Axis Label:** "Number of Students" * **Y-Axis Scale:** 0 to 10, with major tick marks every 2 units (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10). Horizontal dashed grid lines extend from these ticks. * **X-Axis Label:** "Academic Level" * **X-Axis Categories:** Undergraduate, Masters, PhD. ### C. Data Visualization (Stacked Bars) The chart consists of three vertical bars. Each bar has a total count label in **bold black text** at the top and individual segment counts in **white text** centered within the colored blocks. --- ## 3. Data Table Reconstruction | Academic Level | 1st Year (Blue) | 2nd Year (Gold) | 3rd Year (Green) | 4th Year+ (Orange) | Total Students | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | **Undergraduate** | 0 | 1 | 1 | 8 | **10** | | **Masters** | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | **5** | | **PhD** | 2 | 3 | 2 | 0 | **7** | --- ## 4. Trend Verification and Analysis ### Undergraduate Trend * **Visual Trend:** Heavily skewed toward senior students. The "4th Year+" segment dominates the bar, taking up 80% of the total height. * **Composition:** There are no 1st-year students shown. The population is primarily 4th Year+ (8), with minimal representation in 2nd and 3rd years (1 each). ### Masters Trend * **Visual Trend:** Relatively even distribution with a slight lean toward later years. This is the shortest bar in the chart. * **Composition:** A total of 5 students. The distribution is nearly uniform: 1st Year (1), 2nd Year (1), 3rd Year (1), and 4th Year+ (2). ### PhD Trend * **Visual Trend:** Skewed toward early-to-mid-stage students. Unlike the other categories, there are no students in the "4th Year+" category for PhDs in this dataset. * **Composition:** A total of 7 students. The largest group is 2nd Year (3), followed by an equal split between 1st Year (2) and 3rd Year (2). --- ## 5. Summary of Facts * **Total Student Population:** 22 students (10 Undergraduate + 5 Masters + 7 PhD). * **Largest Single Group:** Undergraduate 4th Year+ students (8). * **Smallest Non-Zero Groups:** Undergraduate 2nd/3rd Year and Masters 1st/2nd/3rd Year (all with 1 student). * **Absences:** There are 0 1st-year Undergraduates and 0 4th Year+ PhD students represented in the data.
