minus-squareTelemachus93@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoStrictly speaking, a normal distribution doesn’t cap, neither at 0 nor at 200. Maybe the scores achievable by standardized tests do, of course.
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agothey usually cap at 150. but yeah it’s not a hard cap, it’s an asymptotic curve. statistically the chance of getting 201 or higher is the same as getting -1 or lower.
