Does being above average matter with low averages matter?


Recommended Posts

If on a test or experiment you result above the average of the sample group that is generally regarded as good. However, what if you score above average, but the average is failry low...say out of a sample size of 1000, the average score is 40%, and your "above average" score is 49%, with the highest score being 59 (standard deviation is 10.7). Is this "above average" score really that great or is it just a little bit better?

 

(these are not actual sample scores, just random numbers)
