<p>Parsing a difference? You misinterpreted the quote you put up.</p>
<p>It’s basically saying the percentage of As awarded at the institutions ranged from 44 to 55 percent As. Two institutions had about 45-46%, four had 47-48% As, and three had 49 to 51%. You were questioning how the range could start from 44 when the lowest is 45. First of all, does the range represent only the institutions selectively mentioned or all of the ones studied? Second, if a school had 44.51% As and you’re interested in stating the range, the low end has to be 44% not 45%. I was saying that maybe, this was the case. I did not parse a difference between “around” and “about.” They mean the same to me for purposes of explaining this data.</p>
<p>If you truly wanted to question the data, you’d ask why the high end of the range is 55% when the highest stated here is 51%. Are there other schools studied but not mentioned?</p>
<p>I’m already in college btw. Oh, you misspelled “forewarned.”</p>
