From statistics point of view, i think the chances of you being a stats
nus first class honours is very low.
Let me explain why.
Any science major, much less a stats first class honours, should be analytical enough to look at the
nus ges.
At 75th percentile it is already 3700 or 3800. So for first class honours even higher. You should have known.
You have seniors who would have tell you the indicative benchmarks, civil service salary are also widely known
The fact that is that you didnt check.
Any first class honours would have done a comprehensive data collection, especially u are a stat major.
Given that my prior experience with stats major is that they believe in data, collect it extensively.
From bayesian stats:
P(first class stats honours|Didnt collect impt info)
=[P(Didnt collect impt info|First class honours)*P(first class honours)]/p(didnt collect impt info)
Since first class is rare, ie p(first class) is small and P(Didnt collect impt info|First class honours) is even rarer
The product is super small
Therefore From bayesian stats, the posterior likelihood of u being a stats first class honours From
nus (given that u didnt check the income norm) is very low.
