Re: the problem is that the Mean is not going to tell us much really Lanfear Send a noteboard - 22/11/2012 03:15:33 AM
I appreciated what you said, but please correct me if I am wrong...were you able to answer my question? I could not figure out what you were saying.

I want to know if we assign Morgase 1 unit of power if we can then calculate the mean (in terms of units of power). I know that Morgase is 5.73 SD below the mean. But I want to know if it is possible to determine what the mean is (assuming we assign Morgase 1 unit of power). If that is possible, please someone share the formula with me and explain how you calculate the mean. That's what I was trying to ask about.

How many standard deviations is Lanfear Lanfear - 15/11/2012 06:04:39 PM 2215 Views

Hmmm... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 02:08:40 AM 1145 Views
Perhaps, but Egwene is also being a bit dramatic in the scene as she managed darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:28:57 AM 1092 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:13:13 PM 1143 Views
I believe she is being over dramatic darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:26:24 PM 1037 Views
Keep believing that... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:30:14 PM 1179 Views
*shrugs* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:49:10 PM 1126 Views
Tired and forkroot are the same now? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:55:22 PM 1019 Views
No it's the literary device darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:04:28 PM 1163 Views
This is getting ridiculous... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 04:43:13 PM 1030 Views
You are missing my point completely darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:50:46 PM 994 Views
Impossible. Daigian is exactly 0.32SD below the mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 11:06:04 AM 1095 Views
You keep saying that, but it is either a linear or a non-linear distribution darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:09:32 PM 1144 Views
That's the whole point. Thanks for finally seeing it. Shannow - 19/11/2012 09:43:27 PM 1107 Views
keep believing that ... but you making up numbers isn't really relevant *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:29:44 AM 698 Views
Please show me a number that is made up. The 0.32SD for Daigian is a rule of statistics. Shannow - 20/11/2012 07:15:48 AM 1061 Views
Go read Fionwe's post about it *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:33:19 PM 699 Views
Is that before or after she started juicing? Praziquantel - 15/11/2012 11:04:14 PM 1089 Views
Wouldn't it be 1 in 105 million? Lanfear - 21/11/2012 04:56:19 PM 943 Views
Are you sure that it is a normal distribution? Dreadlord - 16/11/2012 04:21:02 PM 1156 Views
Ugh. I hate power level discussions. For real world applications, it should be kind of meaningless beetnemesis - 16/11/2012 10:28:49 PM 1045 Views
I don't really agree Sidious - 18/11/2012 08:40:53 PM 1020 Views
Perhaps, but we've seen that a MUCH weaker Channeler can win in a duel darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:13:48 PM 1065 Views
Re: Perhaps, but we've seen that a MUCH weaker Channeler can win in a duel Sidious - 20/11/2012 08:10:01 AM 1039 Views
probably ... Lanfear/Cyndane is clearly remarkably skilled darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:35:09 PM 1078 Views
Since I've proven that it's not a normal distribution in units of absolute strength, SDs don't apply Shannow - 17/11/2012 07:48:21 PM 1098 Views
You have proven nothing, except that you have an opinion *NM* darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:21:35 AM 674 Views
You simply don't get it. It is mathematically a fact. There is no opinion involved. Shannow - 18/11/2012 02:19:40 PM 929 Views
Only because you've assigned numeric values. That you created. darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:40:51 PM 1063 Views
It doesn't matter what figure you use... Shannow - 18/11/2012 03:01:56 PM 945 Views
What if Daigian is one third Lanfear's strength? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 04:37:58 PM 1105 Views
We have a limit for Daigian's strength, as you well know. Shannow - 18/11/2012 05:41:49 PM 1070 Views
Are you kidding me? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 09:07:38 PM 1194 Views
Sure you can darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 10:09:31 PM 1097 Views
Re: Sure you can DomA - 18/11/2012 10:54:50 PM 1074 Views
You're right, though its 37.5% fionwe1987 - 19/11/2012 12:21:29 AM 1024 Views
Oops, typo! darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 02:54:25 AM 1072 Views
Again, not possible, due to Daigian being just 0.3SD below the Mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 08:37:01 AM 1027 Views

Exactly *NM* Sidious - 20/11/2012 04:55:28 PM 982 Views
BEcause Cadsuane is close on the heels of Egwene? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 05:10:50 PM 936 Views
I'm not arguing that. I agree that Cadsuane is pretty close to Egwene darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 05:50:34 PM 1048 Views
