I'm from a planet where people know how to read numbers, because:
"7 percent of all black test takers were from families with incomes of more than $100,000. The comparable figure for white test takers is 27 percent."
I was referring to the sports comment you made.
I suggest you read it again, then, because I didn't make a sports comment, I made a statistics comment.
If you know numbers, then you know a handful of well compensated athletes are just noise in the numbers.
Ahem:
http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/cbs2011_total_group_report.pdfAt 7%, 15,107 test takers were from black families making over $100k
At 27%, 233,728 test takers were from white families making over $100k.
The white group is nearly 15.5 times larger. So if there are a few hundred test takers in each group whose families made their money in a field where IQ and income are not directly correlated, what's the magnitude of effect they have on the scores?
