- 3. Richard Quinn Strategic Management, UCF “The exam was running at a grade and a half higher than it had ever run before... You don’t see that kind of grade improvement by chance.” Summer 2010 Mid-term Fall 2010 Mid-term “A bimodal distribution exists when an external force is applied to the dataset that creates a systematic bias.”

- 16. Based on the results of the 20 lakh students taking the Class XII exams at Tamil Nadu over the last 3 years, it appears that the month you were born in can make a difference of as much as 120 marks out of 1,200. June borns score the lowest The marks shoot up for Aug borns … and peaks for Sep-borns 120 marks out of 1200 explainable by month of birth An identical pattern was observed in 2009 and 2010… … and across districts, gender, subjects, and class X & XII. “It’s simply that in Canada the eligibility cutoff for age-class hockey is January 1. A boy who turns ten on January 2, then, could be playing alongside someone who doesn’t turn ten until the end of the year—and at that age, in preadolescence, a twelve-month gap in age represents an enormous difference in physical maturity.” -- Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers

- We took the results of class 12th state board examination in Tamil Nadu and looked at the most popular names -- the top 5,000 names to be precise -- and plotted them based on their marks. The visualisation you see plotslarge boxes for the popular names. For example the big rectangle on the top left indicates people who have the name Kumar and the colour of the boxes indicate the average percentages scored by these students. The darker the blue, the higher the marks. The closer it is to white, the lower the marks. There are some fairly interesting patterns here. For example the names Jain, Shah, Agarwal and Gupta tend to score fairly high marks. These are typical north Indian names. Names like Ashwin, Shweta, Sneha, Pooja, Harini, Sanjana, Varshini, Deepti, etc they tend to score high marks as well. These are classic urban names and you’ll also notice that vast majority of them are girl’s names. Names such as Manigandan, Venkatesan, Ezhumalai, Silambarasan, Pandiyan, Kumaresan, Tirupathi, they tend to score relatively low marks. If you notice these are classic rural names and predominantly male. This is NOT an indication of marks being predicted by the names -- but rather both marks and names are a consequence of socio economic and cultural background of students.
