A country has the following

Country A has a mean years of schooling of $6$ years and an expected years of schooling of $12$ years. Country B has a mean years of schooling of $4$ years and an expected years of schooling of $10$ years. The Education Index for each country is calculated using the formula: $$\text{Education Index} = \frac{\text{Mean Years Index} + \text{Expected Years Index}}{2}$$ where each sub-index is calculated as: $$\text{Sub-index} = \frac{\text{actual value} - \text{minimum value}}{\text{maximum value} - \text{minimum value}}$$ The minimum and maximum values are: mean years of schooling — minimum $0$, maximum $15$; expected years of schooling — minimum $0$, maximum $18$.
