The two people who took the test in Mississippi were white males.
Pro tip: look at the actual data. The sample sizes are way to small to attempt to draw conclusions like these.
- vonmoltke 13y agoWe don't know that the two people in Mississippi were white males, because as the note at the top of the spreadsheet says, the College Board does not release information for demographic groups with less than 5 members. That means several of the statements made on the page are not provable using the data provided because the sample sizes are too small. Also, Wyoming should not even be mentioned. I find it somewhat dishonest to talk about states that had no members of X demographic group take a test when nobody in the state took it.
- sliverstorm 13y agoIt would be much more interesting to weight the numbers to state demographics. Is anybody surprised that North Dakota or Montanna has low incidence of African Americans taking the test? I hope not, considering they represent only 1.2% and 0.4% of the states, respectively.
