How Many 1st Class Passengers Died Aboard the RMS Titanic During the 1912 Titanic Shipwreck?

I am doing a project concerning the RMS Titanic Shipwreck and I am hoping that I am able to make a graph showing the amount of passengers that died and survived this disaster for each class of passengers.

    Well I’m sure it would correlate that 1st class-less deaths – exponentially rising for other classes…

    RMS Titanic (also SS Titanic) was the second of a trio of superliners intended to dominate the transatlantic travel business.[1] Owned by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, United Kingdom, Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of its launching. During Titanic’s maiden voyage, it struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM (ship’s time) on Sunday evening April 14, 1912, and sank two hours and forty minutes later at 2:20 AM Monday morning.

    The sinking resulted in the deaths of at least 1,496 people.[2], ranking it as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most famous. Titanic’s design used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and the ship was popularly believed to be "unsinkable". It was a great shock that, despite the advanced technology and experienced crew, Titanic sank with a great loss of life. The media frenzy about Titanic’s famous victims, the legends about what happened on board the ship, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck in 1985 by a team led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel have made Titanic persistently famous in the years since.
