<p>I can’t believe you had the audacity to call this “quantitative research.” It sickens me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because according to your false data, 84.134% had a GPA of 3.68 or below. That would also mean 68% had a GPA between 3.341 and 3.679. That is not the same as 68% had less than a 3.68. This is significantly greater than 68%; thus making your claims even more outlandish. Also, the 25-75th percentile GPA range for Berkeley in Fall 2008 was 3.72-3.76. I highly doubt UCLA has such a monstrous difference.</p>
<p>Additionally, you calculated an unweighted average GPA? Are you kidding me man? So that means the average GPA of the 2 accepted undeclared social science majors (3.24) is weighted the same as the average GPA of the 82 accepted Comm majors (3.95). Good god… </p>
<p>What I understand is you know little to virtually nothing of what you are talking about. You are giving false information to people and I believe that is wrong. Consequently, the fact that you’re not willing to admit your blunder compels me to warn others.</p>
<p>PS: The Z table listed on wiki for the normal distribution is accurate. Any “self respecting stats major” will confirm that. The fact that the image was hosted on Wikipedia has nothing to do with its statistical accuracy. I implore any else who is enrolled in a stats class (or knows some basic stats) to look up a z-table themselves. I think it’s funny how you imply my entire post was false when I simply linked to a wiki page. The Z-table is accurate, my English is fine, and you making petty false claims because you are full of BS.</p>

<p>EDIT: Here are some more links to z-tables I found in like thirty seconds. I really don’t know why I’m even bothering with this.
