was bored…
I used excel to do an ANOVA analysis on the year to year improvements within the groups and found no statistically significant difference in the improvement rates.
I’m not too great at statistics, so i’m not 100% sure I did it right.
This isn’t Great Debates. We aren’t here to respectfully examine your cockamamie theories & then give well-reasoned responses. (Not that I’ve seen many respecting you in GD.)
This is a Pit thread, set up for those of us who wish to call you an idiotic, annoying racist.
You’re an idiot; do you think you’re going to convince anybody here?
You’re annoying; why must you demean the phrase “New Deal Democrat”?
You’re a racist.
You are a fool who is incapable of rational debate.
Sir, you wouldn’t recognize “rational debate” if it stripped naked, painted “rational debate” on its chest in dayglo purple, and danced on top of your piano singing “rational debate is here again!”
From the school years of 1990-91 to 2009-10 Oriental averages increased by 67 points; white averages increased by 33 points; black averages increased by 11 points.
With a response like that you illustrate my point. My arguments are fact based and logical.
Once again: a child doodling on the wall with a turd shouldn’t assume the speechless stares are proof of his brilliance.
I don’t think those words mean what you think they mean.
NDD, before I even try to reason with you, I’d like to ascertain the educational level I am addressing. What degrees do you hold, and from where? Have you ever taken and passed a statistics class? What biology and anthropology classes?
Does the statement “correlation does not imply causation” mean anything to you?
Why did the people of the New Hebrides come to the belief that lice bring good health?
(I think it was the New Hebrides…memory chip may be acting up again)
Again I ask: if racial differences are environmental, why has the race gap in SAT scores between blacks and whites ncreased since 1990-91?
That is what I mean by fact based. I document my assertions. In this case I ask a reasonable question that cannot be logocally answered in ways that deny the importance of genetics in explaining the race gap.
I don’t mean to sound racist, but there has to be more to this than the social environment. I refuse to believe that society is the only factor that can explain the idiocy of New Deal Democrat. Just look at the test scores. Liberals will deny that they mean anything and point out that the tests are unreadable because he keeps drooling on the ScanTron, but doesn’t that in itself speak to an undeniable difference?
Yup.
Anyone on an internet forum can claim any identity. I am obviously well informed. Most of those who dispute me are just as obviously not. Many are abusive and adolescent.
“Correlation does not imply causation,” can be and often is used to deny any causal relationship one does not want to believe.
You make wild, unsupported assertions from an insufficient body of facts, you mean. As well as JAQing off in public.
Just because you dislike my conclusions does not mean that they are illogical.
See my previous comment and find a dictionary.
You are poorly informed, as I showed in post #160. You’re basing your claims on false information that you repeat over and over again.
Your conclusions are illogical.
I neither dislike or like them.
I was looking at year over year rate of change.
in anycase, this data would be meaningful if environmental factors can be shown to have significantly improved. The fact that civil rights laws have passed, does not necessarily mean the environment/culture has improved.
Right back at ya.
to Mods: I apologize for the multiposts. I’m doing this while multitasking.
