Half the students are below average! This is outrageous!
Below the median
Unless scores follow a standard (or any other symmetric) distribution
median is an average
It’s absolutely not. Median is a value in the middle of a sorted set and average is, well, average. In the set of 1, 7, 10: 7 is median and 6 is average.
Such irony that this comment gets downvoted on a meme about failing education
Even with a simple, yet very clear example
I cant tell if this is a joke or if this guy is in the bottom quartile.
It’s a satirical account, that’s not a real politician.
There are plenty of them out there that are this dumb though.
I’m surprised it’s only 25%. These days, I’d figure at least 40% would be in the lowest quartile. Has anyone checked the math on this?
Check the math? What do I look like, a numbertician??
Damn, I was really hoping to find a mathmagician!
