<p>Modestmelody, you’re definitely wrong. Obviously not 46% of the people in every single class get As, we know that.</p>
<p>But what you tried to say in your first post was that I interpreted the statistics fundamentally wrong and that “Fifty percent of grades awarded would therefore be As even though only 25% of the members of that class received As”: that’s mathematical nonsense since it ignored the grades that people other than you get. You’re wrong; stop saying that you can’t be bothered to explain it and just admit you’re wrong.</p>
<p>This statement:</p>
<p>“Since 46.7% of students received As last year, and at least 22% of those courses were taken S/NC, over half of all grades given in classes taken with the A/B/C option were As. In Humanities, it seems that about 70% of all A/B/C classes result in an A.”</p>
<p>is 100% accurate.</p>
