Why are females so bad at science? Why are the elderly so good?

we've had this stupid thread before

lol roasties consistently get lower scores than men.

>>11234857
Blacks consistently do worse than picking an answer at random.

These weren't even really science questions, just questions to test simple scientific thinking

>those racial statistics
Jesus christ

>>11234875
We all know this is the real reason OP made the thread. What a shame.

>>11234875
If this isn't proof that society disadvantages black people, idk what is.

>>11234861
No, on average they get 3.7 right. Random answers would average 2.75 right.

>>11234890
I closed my eyes and picked at random and got 4 so idk where you got 2.75 from, since there's not even partial credit.

anyone who gets less than 11/11 should not post here.
also wtf blacks?

>>11234875
>>11234910

What if I told you I was black and got 10/11 right but missed the antacid question?

>>11234927
id ask you to be my bf

>>11234927
Clearly you don't understand statistics, because the individual always deviates from the mean

>>11234929

Best friend? Sure. Boyfriend? I think I'll pass.

>>11234930

I was actually interested to see your response on me missing the antacid question. But this is fine too.

>>11234937
uh best friend...yeah that's what i meant

i got 10/11 correct. The one incorrect for me was question 9 pertaining to antacid. Never heard of antacid before as a brainlet.
>these percentages reflect only the 4,464 adults that took part in the national survey; online quiz results are not included in the sample.
If that wasn't inserted on the results page I sincerely thought groups were getting questions wrong on purpose then claiming that they are black to bring the black percent correct down, However that is not the case. I am going to look away from these statistics.

>>11235015
And you couldn't figure out what something called "anti-acid" was made from out of context?

>>11235081
>And you couldn't figure out what something called "anti-acid" was made from out of context?
thank you for the explanation. and no, i did not think of that at all at the time.

>>11234899
>11 questions
>4 options per question
>1 correct answer
>what is 11/4
Holy shit you are stupid.

>>11235119
>>what is 11/4
Not an integer, last I checked, so how could you possibly score it?

I got one wrong because I picked "distance from the Sun" to explain seasons on Earth. Meh, who cares about the weather anyway?

>>11234875
How are they coming up with those stats? It didn't ask me for my skin color.

>>11234927
based

>>11235163
i see what you did there

>>11234823
>question 6
>computer boot-up getting slower
>one possible explanation is that it is running out of memory.
>at boot-up
>possible explanation
a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a liberal arts major who thinks memory is something being used up during computer use, like printer toners.

>>11235178
>hasn't even bought new ram this year.
no wonder your computer is running slow, your memory is all clogged up.

>>11234839
Changes in memory, elderly people have very good crystallized memory which is basically static facts.

Femoids being subpar I don't know though.

>>11235198
apparently u cant read tho. the data is from the study they conducted, web results aren't included retard

>>11234823
this must be fake
women are smarter than men
i was told so in my psychology classes!

>>11235149
The expected value is not the value you expect

Fucking brainlets on my /sci/.

9/11 holy fuck I'm a brainlet. How the fuck do blacks perform so poorly?!

>>11234823
>Science Knowledge Quiz

>Use miles instead of meters

fuck you

I got 11 but I guessed the forest into farmland question

Actually too fucking easy

>>11234839
>Why are the elderly so good?
Education was better back before it had to cater to the 13%.

>>11234823
>the white vs black results

>>11235178
>a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a liberal arts major
Science & Mathematics are liberal arts.

>>11234823
>I managed to get 2 questions wrong.I'm a brainlet

>>11234861
>>11234899
>>11235149
Are you black?

>>11235178
it is literally possible though. if you have a tiny amount of memory bootup could involve storing objects bigger than this and so slower virtual memory is used from the hard drive

>>11235153
Because they're comparing your data to a group of people whom they did ask. You're not included in the sample size. Read the opening prompt, brainlet.

>>11234927
>Missing the antacid question
Low IQ

>>11236023
>bootup could involve storing objects bigger than this and so slower virtual memory is used from the hard drive
Booting up is just loading the OS. Theres no way you'd need virtual memory because you ran out of ram while simply loading the OS. I doubt any system is even designed to do this as they all have minimum requirements

>>11234823
11/11

>>11235766
>I'm a brainlet
Correct

>>11236143

3/3?

>>11234881
If this isn't proof that blacks are dumber, I don't know what is

>>11236063
>>Missing the antacid question

good bowels

10/11, failed the forest turns into farm land question.

>>11234823
I got 5 / 7

>>11234823
Lmao, misclicked on neutral and had to restart.

11, but wasn’t entirely sure on the ear infection one. Who’s to say that those taking the pills won’thave their symptoms lessen due to the placebo effect?

>>11236295
That's irrelevant to the question. They're asking you to ascertain which method would disprove or prove whether the medication is doing it's job.

Younger here 18 and this whole test is bs

>>11236320
pls elaborate. what makes this test bullshit?

10/11
Missed the graph question. Tbh, NY and Chicago temp graphs look kinda similar.
Also, had like 2L of beer b4 going through the quiz.
So , I think I did good

>>11236486
There wasn't actually that greater difference in their range, like a degree, if I recall correctly.

>>11234823
Oil, natural gas and coal ARE renewable even if they are commonly labelled as only "fossil".

>>11234823
11/11 but I don't feel great about it.
I didn't concretely know a lot of the answers, they just seemed like the best options.

>>11236521
After a really long period of time, and ideal conditions. Unless, of course, you spend the same amount of energy you got from burning them into reversing the reaction.

>>11236529
If you don't remove all prospects of continued carbon based life it will accumulate in extractable pools.
It's more renewable than solar panels and nuclear which requires high levels of technology to make useful.

>>11236545
Except from the fact that you run out of them quickly, and they take a long time to replenish.
Also, they do require ideal conditions, why do you think we know of places where to look, like salt domes?

>>11234823
This reads more like a test on general knowledge than science specifically, it should be easy for any college student to get at least 9/11 regardless of their major.
>t. Swiss

>>11236565
Lmao, I would expect more than 9/11 if they're in college/uni.

>>11234823
>Antacids have bases as main component
What the hell man, my biology teacher, who was a medical doctor before, taught us that antacids where actually acidic to get the body to made three stomach produce less acid.

>>11236574
That's uber retarded. Which do you think would be faster acting? Your bodies homeostasis, or a direct neutralization?

tfw retard

>>11236593
Fuck idk, I'm neither a bio major nor was what she told us actually relevant to any class material. The only reason I didn't pick base was because I remembered that, and I thought I could trust her more than my own knowledge of basic chem. Although, now I remember her telling us that bacteriophages are harmful to the body when they're actually safe, so idk.

>>11236600
How? Are you one of the 2015/2016 immigrants?

>>11236607
Wtf, bacteriophages are substrate dependent.

>>11236607
Overthinking it. All you had to do was think of it like this: What neutralizes an acid? A base. Therefore the answer must be base.

>>11236593
>*body's

Is it bad if I got 8/11 right?

>>11236608
Unironically yes.

>>11236697
Best go home, newfriend. Please stop shitting up our board.

That last question with the car moving at 40 mph took me longer than it should have holy shit
thats what happens when you do nothing but masturbate and play videogames for a year and a half

Elementary school dropout mechanic. 11/11. You guys quit talking shit.

>>11236732
>40*(3/4) is hard
Looks like the forced coomer meme was right

>>11235152
Intuitively that kinda makes sense if you didn't know that not everyone on earth has winter right now, but you should know that.

>>11236818
Unless you're a child, you should, yes.

>>11235272

>>11235228
>being this fucking retarded
so this is the power of the college fag

>>11236607
I just checked on Wikipedia, and your teacher was either wrong or explained very badly.
The component that reduce the stomach acidity in an antacid is simply an alkaline ion, i.e. a base. There may be other acids in the drug but they have other purposes, for example to make an effervescent, or to protect the stomach.
