There were actually a lot of polar bears in my courses.

Well, it seems this graph rendered the OP's thread inacurrate.
" Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God"
So going to collage (not graduating even) just getting accepted makes you smarter than people that did not attend. Cool dude. I got in to a bunch of colleges, I just didn't go so that makes me an idiot. Nice. I'll be sure to let my employer know that. And take a pay cut too. I mean a multi million, international medical device company that I work for sure doesn't need a marketing director idiot like me.
This is the most useless and misleading article I have read in a while. Along with the Polygon article that claims that TR will get more sales on X1 alone.

so 102%(62.1+39.9) of people graduate in six years |
That's 62.1% and 39.9% of the respective number of people who attend college, I'm sure.

It's the proportion of ALL black women/asian women/etc.

In that case there sure are a lot of people in multiple categories. Not that it's impossible, I just thinks it's unlikely.

You can't add those percentages. They are covering different pieces of data. Take 1000 blacks and 1000 whites and say that 621 of the whites graduate in 6 years, and 399 of the blacks graduate in 6 years. This is what that says. What happens when you add those percentages. 621/1000 whites + 399/1000 blacks = ? Let's say you have 10 oranges and 3 apples, you can't add those together and say you have 13 applanges. |
That means at least half of the white men are in more than one category... wait that makes sense... screw it.
