Hmmmm...interesting piece of information. However, with a cut-off at
10, and with scores piled up in the upper range of the 0-10 span, a
more useful statistic would be the median score. In other words, we
don't have a normal distribution, so a few low scores would drag the
mean down disproportionally; so the median is a better estimate of the
center of the distribution. Sort of the reverse of looking at the
"average" income in the US, where the few billionaires pull the mean
disproportionally up.<br>
<br>
Also, how did the total number of scores entered end up not being a
multiple of the number of maneuvers -- different numbers of judges for
different classes or phases (e.g., P1-F1)?<br>
<br>
While I know these are "fun facts," and they are interesting and I
really appreciate seeing them, I would still like to know the median,
if possible...<br>
<br>
Thanks for sharing, Scott!<br>
