lol we're hard

Better times ahead gotta believe that

Don't you know that the coronavirus can travel through clear objects i'm doing what is necessary

Unfortunately the bundle only offered it on Windows so I haven't played it yet ;-; But I definitely will after my summer course ends

"my infinity is infiniter than yours"

That's a pretty good source

And yeah you too c: how has life been during this awful year?

Oh is it really? That's awesome news <3

I still have no idea how you find these sources

Let's start from the null hypothesis that the game does not make players cry, i.e. the proportion of criers is 0 --> ρ = 0.00

Is the true population proportion significantly greater than 0?

Sample proportion = .1, Standard deviation = .0474

z = (.1 - 0)/.0474 = 2.11. Assuming a normal distribution, this corresponds to a cumulative probability of .9826 (probability of observing a proportion less than the one we sampled, if our null hypothesis is true).

1 - .9826 = .0174. (Note: since our proposed population proportion is 0, data can only fall to the right of it i.e. be greater than it, so I think that we need to double this figure to utilize the normal distribution appropriately. But I'm not certain) --> .0174*2 = .0348

Using a 5% level of significance: .0348 < .05, so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the game does indeed make players cry

Oh wow now I'm excited. I love any fictional world that I can fully immerse myself in

I do like how different fields of math coexist and collaborate tho. The world is made up of zeros and ones (i don't exactly know what i mean by this but it sounds cool), and these tools help us to understand it

"obsessively completionist tendencies"

But seriously thank you for the recommendation c: it uses the same art style as Undertale and seems fairly similar in gameplay as well

This ALSO reminds me of something that I just learned

In yesterday's lecture for my statistics class I learned that people using the normal distribution to try and measure the stock market contributed to the 2008 crisis. While the range of potential daily outcomes looks pretty close to a bell curve, this distribution it dramatically underestimates the frequency of days that are several standard deviations below the mean. So people were caught off guard when they had several very bad days which caused them to panic which caused other people to panic which caused... well you know how these things go

People always joke about statistics being lies but it's just humans that screw up interpreting them (sometimes deliberately sometimes not)

This actually reminds me of my favorite joke about statisticians:

Two statisticians are out hunting a deer. The first one shoots and misses 10 feet to the left; the second shoots and misses 10 feet to the right. They both drop their rifles and happily exclaim, "We got it!"

Believe it or not I'm actually not a huge gamer. But 99.94% discounts don't happen very often

I'll definitely have a look through some of these games. My brother might be interested as well

Oh wow that is interesting. I have mad respect for people who discern these patterns without a textbook or anything to guide them

What is Zipf's Law? I'm not familiar with it

I'm going to put two in just to make sure you see it

Is there anywhere I can voice a complaint?

I can't decide if this sounds more like George Orwell or Ayn Rand

do I have to include my ash and tear holdings on my tax report?

What comes after/how many terms are there?

Very interesting stuff indeed. My thoughts relate to our earlier discussion of the signs of numbers. The linguistic/written content used to express numerical concepts is an arbitrary structure created by humans, best evidenced by the fact that 12, twelve, dozen, XII, doce, etc. all mean the same thing depending on your time and place in history. However, for example, Sir Newton did not decide that the derivative of the concept expressed by "3x^2" equals 6x, he merely discovered it to be true. I can't speak to other universes which I have not yet visited, but I'm willing to put my trust in this mathematical relationship holding true in ours.
