The original sentense is as follows: The median sample firm has 17.9% annualized earnings growth. I want to rewrite it as, The median sample firm has an annualized earnings growth rate of 17.9%. Could this be better? By the way, if you have some knowledge of statistics, you should know that the more precise meaning behind this sentence should be The median of the annualized earning growth rates of the sample firms is 17.9%. I am wondering if it is too unformal to write a sentense like the frist one. Since it is quoted from a famous financial journal, I have no confidence to criticize it. Therefore, I hope that I can get some help here. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.37.141.22
