more women than men needed more than 3 years to complete MSc.,
(moved into interval 3). Notwithstanding, time length distribution in which

Will it be the case that those so high efficient women falling in the
left wing of the time distribution will be less family and/or work dependent
that the others who had to take three and more years to complete the

¹⁹ Actually, a not statistically meaningful number of individuals (n.s.m.) in the sample (2 female MSc.)
has been ranked into interval 0, equivalent to a time length lower than one year. But we won’t consider
this result unless further checking will allow for it.
