    But 25% of all American students also scored in the top quartile on standardized tests, so it cancels out!

      That the bottom 25% of scorers in standardized tests are in the bottom quartile of the distribution, which is literally defined as the bottom 25%, but the Twitter user seems to be using that fact to justify something yet he’s literally just stating a fact?

      The bottom 25% will always exist and there will always be 25% of the results contained within it.

      Not sure how anyone doesn’t get it, but this Twitter screenshot exists, so there’s that.

      Oh, sorry, this “x” exists. Dumb fucking name.
