Statistical Analysis of Megajam 2016 (Graphs!)

“Frankly, with data collected from Humans, it’s rare to see data that appear this close to normal.”

The one problem you have here is the audience being aware of 's bias ahead of time.

I mentioned it to him and he said it didn’t seem to make a difference if he said a number before the audience voted, or not.

I disagree. People are nothing but biased. They hear his number and the majority will flock around that value.

Next time, I suggest making a separate, non-visible until the voting is closed, poll setup.

THat would at least eliminate the entire bias of the reviewer + audience.

Otherwise, crazy good analysis based on the information at hand.

Cheers.
