    I was genuinely asking because it makes sense how someone could make your mistakes if they never actually took a stats course…

    Although, I admit there was a joking implication that percentages weren’t taught till then, but…

    are you going off elementary one where they did not? 😂

    It kind of sounds like you really didn’t get to percentages till at least jr high.

    I’m sorry if I upset you and you just reflexively lashed out, but you’re never gonna learn more if you keep responding to people who want to help like that.

    I could have spent this time explaining stats instead of why asking questions is best when you’re confused.

    Best of luck tho.

      i am sorry if i upset you by explaining how percentages work, but i have to say, this your idea that percentages are some kind of magic from high school explains a lot.

      you could have spent that time education yourself. contrary to what they told you, false confidence is NOT all you need.
