Some might have lab fees or the like, that could be the difference

The whole class of 25 to 1000 students for a given class and multiple sections can’t use one or two library books! Most college engineering textbooks in the 1980s were $50 to $100 apiece. Probably a lot more today in this year’s dollars, but thankfully many of the texts are online now.

California was suppose to be one of those light colors, that was the entire purpose of our state system. Seeing what it’s like today makes me so sad.

Why polynomial trend lines?

In state tuition is ~ 9k a year in my state and that is pretty normal. On the graphic itself it says it does include room and board, food, transportation etc - all of which is needed regardless of attending a university or not. Most people graduate in 4 years. Tell me how you get 200k from that? ~ 36K for 4 years tuition. Where does 200k come from?

You were wrong about the 200k, and you were wrong about board and room and books not being included in the number proved by the graphic.

Read! The notes off the Southeastern coast state the costs that are included.

The university president and the other higher-ups needs to make their $1M salaries somehow. The money certainly isn’t going to the professors, to restock labs and fix equipment, or even general upkeep of the campus.

That's crazy. Why should a literature degree cost as much as a chemistry degree when the logistics aren't the same? There aren't any labs to maintain or chemicals to stock up in order to teach literature.

The very highest grossing movies.

4 years college maybe 5 * 40 a year. Plus room and board plus books per year.

Math seems fine to me.

Just about everything you typed is wrong.

Finally got round to knocking up a simulation, can confirm that the two methods (randomly choosing whether to bet H or T, or using the lagged counts) both give the same (0.5) win rate, as expected. Indeed, any strategy (e.g. always choosing H or T) will yield the same win rate for a truly random coin. I suspect there was a slight glitch in your friend’s simulation. Happy to share (R) code and plot(s) if you want.

I love graphs like this where this is an implicit story!

hmmm so full time mcjob in california at min wage gets you about 30k a year…

So.. if your lucky to not have bills…. and can put all your money to school.. and handle a fews years of a shit job, its possible rofl 😂

That’s fair actually it’s something’s we often struggle with even in web design

I unfortunately have no ideas

For what it is worth, this data is almost useless. I wouldn't come to any conclusions based on it.

To throw another wrench into the mix, WV also has a ridiculously good scholarship for any decently smart, in state student. Any high school senior with a 3.0 GPA and a score 21 on the ACT can get the WV Promise scholarship. Those requirements really aren’t that high and it damn-near pays your entire 4-yr tuition. I went to engineering school at WVU and I think I ended up paying like 6-10k TOTAL for all 4 years (2011-2015). May have changed by now, though…

Maybe at huge schools (20k+ students) with multiple sub-colleges?

My undergrad was 6000 students, and all undergraduate departments/degree programs adhered to the same tuition/price per credit set by the bursar.

The problem with using green and red though is that it’s the most common color blindness. I’d be lost if this was green and red.

There are very few smart Americans. And we know why. It is only rich white entitled kids who become senators to enable a few true white old oligarchs (billionaires in the USA) to control quite a bit of all our lives. Welcome to the occupation of a nation by capitalist oligarchs and military-industrial worship. Sounds like the definition of a fascist state to me. And it really is to live in the USA: you cannot question authority or you will be silenced. That is all that brown men do in the USA and the "authorities" gun them down. When you run away from a cop, that is dissent...in the USA - you will be dead 100% of the time (especially if your skin is not white).

Is this an interactive model that can be published?

And very isolated communities. Who is going to catch you there?
