[quote=Anonymous][quote] Great article and statistically significant study. It controls for income/socio-economic classes and the U.S.' second and third quartile income students do quite poorly. [/quote] This was a convenience sample. Convenience sample means "these are 105 high schools that we were able to include in the study conveniently, and so those are the ones we used". Convenience samples are, by definition, statistically unrepresentative. So what can we conclude about the US as a whole? Nothing. Also, "statistically significant" may not mean what you think it means. [/quote]
