A teacher is paid for 2 logs per hour, and the markers have to mark
roughly twice that in an hour -- but two markers mark each exam,
so it ends up more or less the same. <<
Inferences:
1 - If the cost for logs and exams were not the same, the ministry
would favor the less expensive process, regardless of which route
is best for each student.
2 - For a hypothetical group of 100 students, the cost to the ministry
would be the same whether all did the log or all took the exam. If all
did the log, the cost would be 50 teacher-hours. If all took the exam,
there would be the equivalent of 200 exams to be marked and at
4 exams/hour, the cost would be 50 marker-hours. If these costs
are "fairly equivalent", then the average hourly pay rate for teachers
and markers is about the same.
(If all of the markers _are_ teachers, we are looking at a terrible
waste of teaching time and talent.)
