KEY
P Pass, A Average, F Fail
NB: The numeric and language section of the test is graded as pass, average or fail
while the reasoning sections are graded in as pass or fail only.
Entropy (S) =

Portion of the non-hired 6/15
Entropy (S) = (-9/15 log2 9/15) + (-6/15 log2 6/15)
= (-0.6 x -0.737) + (-0.4 x -1.322)

From the gains calculated, the decision tree will be of the form:
0.712 -> 0.3238 -> 0.2784 -> 0.2491 -> 0.0832
