i think if you managed to get 0 for sacs, and 0 for the exams, you wouldnt quite get 0... it would depend on the how many people did the subject. to get 0, you would need to be -30/7=-4 and 2/7ths of a standard deviation below the mean. that means you'd have to be in the bottom 0.000911404865 % of people. say n people do the subject, for there to be just ONE person getting a 0 study score, n x 0.00000911404865=1 so n=109,720.7 people. since there are in fact 55,000 people in the state, no one can ever score 0 for any subject. to find the lowest score possible, we'll look at the subject with the most students: english. they had "approximately 40,000" students from the 2011 assessment report. that would mean that the lowest score achieved by just ONE student is such that they are in the bottom 1/40,000 x 100 % of students. so that puts the lowest possible study score at 1.6106 from the inverse normal distribution.

This is procrastination at its finest, i should go study for exams now...
