I think what he means is that what coastergenius said makes
no sense. It is no cumulative. Each quarter is independent
and at the end it has the cumulative percentages. There is
no algebra and no equation to work out.

you realized your computer's mistake.

Alright, im bored and I thought this was fun. I will try explain the formula I used for this "theoretic concept"
Lets assume the following data:
Q1 pass rate: 52
Q2 pass rate 47
Q3 pass rate 51
Q4 pass rate: ???
Cumulative Pass rate: 48%
As you can see, the current pass rate for the first 3 quarters is 50 (52 + 47 + 51/ 3) = 150/3 = 50
Now we are looking to find the Q4 pass rate, assuming a cumulative pass rate for all 4 quarters of 48% and we have all the data necessary to obtain it, as we know each quarter will constitute 25% of the overall weight percentage. Now to the formula:
52(.25) + 47(.25) + 51(.25) + X(.25) = 48
13 + 11.75 + 12.75 + X(.25) = 48
37.5 + X(.25) = 48
X(.25) = 48 -37.5
X(.25) = 10.5
X = 10.5/.25
X = 42
That means the 4th quarter passing rate must had been of 42%. and to corroborate the mathematical accuracy of this we can double check: 52% + 47% + 51% + 42% / 4 = 48%
I repeat, I'm bored at 1:52 am with nothing else to do...... but I hope that explains the concept.

Guys you need to understand that the rates shown on the web
page are not cumulative. Each quarter has the passing rates
for that quarter and the cumulative column is the only
cumulative passing rates.
