Statistics disputed
[edit]Unless (as might be the case in India) there are very many persons who count as neither male nor female, the average literacy rate cannot be higher than both the male and female percentages--SilasW 15:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC) The article "Arambag" had similarly irreconcilable figures. My comment there led to deletion of all the literacy statistics. I follow that precedence and zap them from this article.--SilasW 13:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well spotted. I think that was a problem with the calculations and wording used by a bot while creating the article or while adding demographic data. My understanding is that sexwise literacy numbers were calculated as #<male/female>literates/#total literates and by mistake of wording, it was claimed to be like 'x% of males are literate and (100-x)% of females are literate'; rather it should have been 'x% of literates are male and (100-x)% of literates are female'. Alternatively, other formulae should have been used. I have access to the data. So, I am putting it in correct words using %of literates among male/female. Thanks. --GDibyendu (talk) 12:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- No matter how the figures were derived they are manifest nonsense. A) 57 is less than 59.5 and B) if the population is roughly 50/50 M/F then the mean of 61 and 53 is 55 not 57. This arithmetical inconsistency can be found in other Indian town articles.Pls talk if you need to about the matter but not about my observing.--SilasW (talk) 11:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
