    Statistics is the study of probabilities using improbable math and supported by a lack of scientific method to produce results that can be adjusted towards bias.

    Well now there's 4 types of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics and Gangrene Balls.

    Of course I know Schrödinger, I'm a cat! The feline world meows of him in hushed tones.

    But anyway, I really wanted to see some sexy equations :(
     
  5. Then zero should be able to give us the ratio of bp drops from 4star monsters and ships give us the statistics on the equation be grrrreat:)

    All I know is, every time I kill a 4* Bigger fish, I get 500EP and 1000BP. Whenever my guildlings do it, they get 2 Gems. :D

    That's Halloween Jack. He's a real cool cat. He lives on top of Manhattan Chase.

    I could give the stats but I would have to have a poll, from that gather a Z score and Standard Deviation, then I would covert to a P-Score and use InvNorm to find the area to gauge the correlation status with the T-Table,then I would consider the Null and Alternative (H0 and H1) Hypotheseis. If your P-Value was less then .05 of the Critical Value then I would reject the Null Hypothesis.

    Of course all of that is invalid since an online poll is a volantary sample which has no validation and not a Simple Random Sample.

    Here's the "Math" that I used and what I'm dealing with. This is the formulas table minus the 4 Tables (Z-Score, P-Score, T-Score and Chi Square)

    I'm on Chapter 10 right now, the Linear Regression Formula.

    On a sidenote, I'm not sure why I can't post regular sized pictures anymore since I've used the same thing before and never had a problem.

    Thank you. I think. D

    Well you can't see them clearly from those pictures, click on them and you can see the "math" I use. Even knowing what everything means it's still at least a 3 step process for analyzing data and trying to come to a conclusion.

    Just to clarify how math-impaired I am, I didn't know how to figure out what 37% of 192 is on a calculator until I was on my mid-20s. :oops:

    I love probability, and I love statistics. I even know what a t-test is. But Kel was a music major for a reason. :)

    The best response I've ever got was from my Aunt when I showed her what I was doing. After staring at the sheet with a blank expression for 15 seconds she looks up at me with an expression of that like a deer in the headlights, she politely and with a sense of confusion asks/states : "Is this math?" That right there sums up my thoughts in the most simplestic, honest way I could ever hope to describe it. I even somewhat know what I'm doing and I still feel the same way as she did.
