Yes, like you said, it’s the same thing.</p>

1362

<p>I’m basing the list off of the consensus of the majority, as I did for the January test. I doubt 30k+ people misread the question and the select few who are arguing for the mean read it correctly. </p>

<p>Then again, you are correct in saying that neither side has any actual proof. I’m content to wait till April 1st.</p>

1363

<p>I’m gonna laugh when Jersey gets an 800.</p>

1364

<p>9/25 = 9/25 in any format. u can put it as a decimal or fraction form and it will be correct.</p>

<p>oh and i unfortunately put 93 aswell…</p>

<p>Jericho High School. Top 100 public schools in the nation. There is a split house between median and mean. Kids swearing they saw one or the other. Clearly, there is a much larger community than just college confidential in terms of the “top 2-3%” of the nation. And I don’t understand why this easy question would have misleading wording.</p>

1366

<p>Mean is something I learned around 5th or 6th grade. Seems like a #6 type question, but it said median.
How is Jericho HS a top 100 school? I can haz proofz?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I believe more people are aggravated by GMABCD specifically because of his decision to change a consolidated list that CCers worked on for over 50 hours. Other people have brought up the subject of whether the question was mean/median and were not met with similar hostility.</p>

1368

<p>Really? What about avidstudent. Look back a couple hundred posts. I would even be scared to go against that kid.</p>

1369

<p>NOO 0 was not the difference. that was a common trick. it said average PER YEAR over 5 years. not average over 5 years. it was the difference in slopes, not the average in points</p>

1370

<p>gmab, jersey’s gonna get a 2400. Go away. I’m a dumbass and I got that one right.</p>

1371

<p>you guys all got that average per year one wrong. everyone keeps saying its 0. its 50</p>

1372

<p>The answer was clearly 0. There’s nothing to argue here. Go away.</p>

1373

<p>Alright bud keep telling yourself that. Why is there just now controversy @ the 92nd page. Seriously all these new members are ****ing me off. It’s 0.</p>

1374

<p>hey gmab</p>

<p><a href=“http://me414.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2009/05/ignorance.jpg[/url]”>http://me414.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2009/05/ignorance.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

1375

<p>It was not the average per year. It was the average number of students attending all 5 years.</p>

<p>

I agree. So random.</p>

1376

<p>clearly 0…read the question again next time when you get wrong</p>

1377

<p>@dlwolverines
It’s a trick question in that it tries to make you average out all the data and then subtract, whereas you can easily just notice where they intersect and realize it’s 0.</p>

1378

<p>i specifically read it again for wording. it was, what was the difference in the average per year over the 5 years for the two schools. they wanted you to just average the points</p>

1379

<p>JERICHO??? never heard of that ****. and it was definitely median. it’s harder to mix median for mean than mean for median. also can u guys answer the unconvinced/hilarious question in the critical reading. i’ve been asking forever.</p>
