No, it was a clue to your idiocy. You haven't given any reason as to why
one should be preferred over the other. In one of your calculations, you
came to the conclusion that a negative number of people knew the answer!
Does that mean there were people who didn't take the test, but still got
it wrong? Did people in a parallel anti matter universe get it right?

LOL! YOU came to the conclusion that a negative number of people knew
the answer on H04. If you get impossible answers, you should check how
you defined the problem, dumb ass!

But you didn't give a reason to prefer one over the other. What is that
reason? What? You have none?

What is the answer to H04? And how can a negative number of people know
an answer?
I notice you keep avoiding those questions...
