...both having a thousand households and, let's say a thousand kids in the range of K-12. The district borders are established by nothing more than geography, and have been the same for a couple generations.
One school district has an average household income of $50k (District A), and the other has an average household income of $150k (District B). Having no more direct information other than average household income, what else can you logically infer from that information? This is what I THINK:
At age 40, how will be average income of the A and B students compare?
Does "race" make any difference?
One school district has an average household income of $50k (District A), and the other has an average household income of $150k (District B). Having no more direct information other than average household income, what else can you logically infer from that information? This is what I THINK:
- A households are probably single parent; B households are likely to have both parents (one possibly a step-parent) under the same roof.
- Households in A have one income, and not a very good one; in B, there is at least one "middle class" income, and probably 2.
- A households have, on average, zero college graduates under roof; B households probably have one college grad, possibly 2.
- A households probably don't have a car; B households probably have 2.
- A households probably never take a "vacation"; B households regularly take vacations, possibly an occasional overseas vacation, or something "special" like a Disney World vacation.
- A households with more than one kid probably have one bedroom for all kids; B households probably have a bedroom for each kid, or at least one for boys and one for girls.
- The head of Household A probably has average or below average intelligence; the head of Household B probably has well-above average intelligence - in fact both parents probably have above average intelligence.
- Kids in the A household probably get a significant gift at Christmas; Kids in the B household are showered with gifts at least twice a year.
At age 40, how will be average income of the A and B students compare?
