In "General Test Percentage Distribution of Scores Within Intended Graduate Major Field Based on Seniors and Nonenrolled College Graduates". Why are those in MicroComputer Applications major so smart?
The sample is only 85, so it might be some sort of random effect, but 20% of them score in the highest category for quantitative. How? They have a higher percentage in this than economists, nearly all engineers, all of the chemists, those in optics, computer science, and have as many in this category as astrophysicists. They trump nearly absolutely anyone in terms of the percentage of them in the highest quantitative category.
How can people majoring in knowing how to use Excel at a basic level be the gods of maths?!
The explanation seems that maybe it's the fact their sample is only 85, but 27 intended majors have a smaller sample than that and don't show any such wild luck. Honestly, I'm baffled.
