same with reddit I observed upvotes and the usual number that I see on a post with someone who doesn’t have the ID is like 20-30!

yeah its very odd

i would like to point out how crazy the correlation between the people that read the whole discussion and got accepted, if we were to ignore the people that saw that it didn’t work for them and don’t answer the survey because of emotion. the z-score of this happening by chance is 34 (11% acceptance rate and it being 50% with 751 sample).

I mean yeah it’s lowk upsetting if you don’t have an ID. I feel like berkeley should have patched this but they probably can’t since its the literal student ID.

I’m assuming this is also the reason why the Berkeley student in the chat said it was fake.

Is this good or bad I don’t take stats.

2544

you cant use z-score here though, as this isnt a random sample nor is it a normal distribution

2545

thats like the bias idk bro im in ap stats too

2546

we have to remember that anyone on these kinds of sites are normally super tryhardy, and that skews our data towards a higher proportion of success

I mean I feel like if we are doing AP stats analysis things it just shows how cracked and bias this form will be :rofl:.

normally the chances of what happened would be super super super unlikely. however, since this data is not a random sample (because we only interview tryhards), it makes sense we have such a high rate of id

Also don’t forget the simple facts with last year’s form showing essentially the same thing!
