U.S. Residents Grade their States

Small sample don't you think?

Not a single "A" grade.

Shame this is completely meaningless, it's obvious even from the results that some states are based on maybe one or two responses. Also, the answers to the questions were loaded in how they were phrased, so it wasn't really a scale.

I'd be curious to see the same thing done properly - this is just someone's exercise in making an infographic.

unreliable info,bad posting

"In total, 293 people responded "

Considering the population size of America, 293 people is statistically insignificant.

An average of five per state is totally useless, to say nothing of the fact that self-rating on these complex issues is doubly totally useless. Making it at least 250% useless by my totally useless count.

This was neither "neat" nor "orama". On the America's Report Card scale, I rate it: Alabama.

Frankinbeans: in statistics, the size of the population doesn't really matter when considering sample size. A sample of 293 is sufficient, regardless of the size of the population. However, the problem here isn't the 293; it's the 5. A sample size of 5 has a HUGE margin of error, which makes the state-by-state ratings completely meaningless. I can't believe someone took the time to create a graphic for such worthless data.

Even worse, it is not done responses from a random selection of residents. It only uses responses from members of their own group.

MA: C+B+C+A+B+B=C???
MA: B in education?! vs VT and... IO?
