[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to assume that real science literacy requires taking at least one college -level science course (you learn how about methodology and learn how to read the publications) so I think this is actually an answerable question. About 35 percent of Americans have a college degree, and some proportion get a BS vs a BA. I guess a quant person could look through this table and figure it out. I'm going to guess that like 2 in 5 are science/math related? 2/5 of 35, I think 14? So 14 percent of Americans are science literate? https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d21/tables/dt21_322.10.asp[/quote]
