[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost everyone donates to the annual giving fund. You can tell by looking at the published list of donors. Parents donate even if they get financial aid. The amount of the donation can be nominal. Don't be fooled by the solicitation speeched citing the average donation as being in the $2000's; that number skews high because of a few very large donations. The more telling number would be the mean donation, which would be much lower. Because almost everyone donates, to fail to do so makes you very conspicuously missing from the donor list.[/quote]

mean = average. I am guess you meant median or mode?

Ha PP here! Great I correct someone's statistics and make a gramatical error in the process![/quote]

I'm sure your mistake was a typo rather than a grammatical error, just as my using "mean" instead of "mode" was just carelessness and failure to proofread.

Oh, and I know you know how to spell "grammatical."

Enough corrections now! :)[/quote]
