- If you meant that American students were more heterogenious by saying
- 'odd-balls', your 'odd-ball' hypothesis seems to be correct according to
- the same article.
- The satandard deviation (SD) of Asian students was around 8 and that of
- American was around 7, but since the average of American students' score was
- half of Asian students' so if you divide SD by average, then
- we get 0.35 for Asian and 0.52 for American. It means American students are
- more heterogenious than Asian students.
