Figure 1 below illustrates passage rates by ethnicity, including
standard error bars. Standard error bars take into account both the
natural variability in bar passage and the number of students
included in the sample. The standard error bars indicate the
precision of these passage rates as they might apply to the larger
population of individuals similar to the students who actually
attended UALR during the time of the study. For example, the bar
passage rate for White individuals between 2005 and 2011 was
79.8%. If a similar group of White students made up of different
specific individuals had attended, the passage rate would likely have
been slightly different because of natural variability among
individuals.216
