Subject: RE: BS: 50% of school pupils below average
You try telling 99% of the people about median, when politicians use the terms indiscriminantly.
50% below average is a simplistic statement because the general public can cope with it.
Flippant I wasn't - I made the point and it wasn't explicit.
Anyway 76.34% of all statistics are made-up on the spot.
