Renegade343 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 And that is: The number of players in this forum that do not read a topic to realise that said topic is within PVP Feedback. From doing some quick calculations, there is an average of 5 players that do not read a topic to realise that said topic is within PVP Feedback per day. Assuming that this is independent (which is most likely is), that means this average falls under the Poisson distribution of X ~ Po(5). Now, what is the probability that there would be exactly 5 players that do not read a topic to realise that said topic is within PVP Feedback on a particular day? X ~ Po(5) P(X = 5) = (55 x e-5) ÷ 5! P(X = 5) = 21.0561 ÷ 120 P(X = 5) = 0.17547 So, under 20% chance then. That is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalenath Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 20% seems kind of low to me. Is this pure math or based on experiential data as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalenath Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Both. Fair enough. I am no mathemagician. I will leave it to you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunDownGrace Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 point taken but,here is the caveat while the math is pure and sound it does not relate to human experience for example: even with the low low low chance of 20%..say 1000 people are busy roving around the feedback section that would still be 200 people with the wrong idea,which in any forumites experience is an army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
