The Percentile Riddle for assessing School Performance

[Don1]

So we have 3 schools and wish to assess their performance and societal value:


School A has 1st Form intake with academic performance in the 95th percentile.
The school's performance in GSAT is in the 95th percentile

School B's 1st Form intake performance is in the 70th percentile...and their GSAT performance is in the 80th percentile

School C's 1st Form intake performance is in the 50th percentile...and their GSAT performance is in the 70th percentile


Now which school is performing "best" (ceteris paribus of course) ???

Jamaica College!

What have I won?!?

Ow yuh come suh....yuh si mi kall nuh name...ah one serious basic stats argument dis

[Muadib]

The school that you choose to send your pickney when time come...

[Muadib]

Keep trying... you are missing one fundamental data set..

But then contrary to your statement you have not presented a serious stats argument...

[Don1]

It look like dis bigga dan yuh yuteman

Dis is one deceptively simple stats exercise....wid 2 input/output variables and declaratively holding other factors equal... scientific method den call dat

Google "ceteris paribus" before yuh post more fooliniss

****...mek mi tek dat back...yuh agguh post fooliniss regardless..wooiiee

[Muadib]

Incomplete data set to make an intelligent determination..wheel and come again.. yuh coulda ceteris paribus till yuh tyad..

[Don1]

Incomplete data set??? Wooiiee...if ah laff ah ded to **** ..

The problem deliberately isolated 2 core & essential variables to illustrate their interplay in assessing performance....deliberately holding any other factor equal....wedda dat factor important ar nat. Dats a standard scientific construct. No claim is made dat dose 2 variables are di ongly factors in assessing erformance

If yuh want to pose a test wid some odda variable...dweet... but dat is irrelevant to dis test

The intent of the test is to determine the reasoning proficiency of the respondent ...you have failed ...guh inna di corna wid yuh dunce cap ..wooiiee

[Muadib]

dis biggah dan yuh..

One cannot determine which school is performing best from your sample data..

At what age people tek GSAT claffy ?
