Statistics - Tumblr Posts
I just listened to statistics lectures for five hours
1:01 AM WE ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG
I need this so bad right now.
this is the perfect grade of good luck
reblog in 5 seconds and all of your grades will inch ever closer to perfect
Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics.
“Increases your chances by 80%” does not mean “there is now an 80% chance”.
If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%.
if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%.
thats how that works.
🤣
I don’t remember this scene in Dune 😂

fact: 98.543% of tumblr users are birds pecking at keyboards and forming words and sentences by chance
I have kissed more dogs than humans and been bitten by more humans than dogs. Conclusion: dogs are more capable of unconditional love than humans are capable of not biting me.
Be me:
- Refuse to procrastinate today
-Try to do your homework
- Spent an hour and a half doing a statistic problem of two populations with n> 15 and different variances.
-Finish it
-Try to send it (^o^)
- Find out it is from an another unit! (1 population and normal distribution) 🫠
-YOU'RE THE WORST KIND OF GOOD 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT EVEN GREAT.
- Binge all sagas with a blanket while crying, frowning and reading fics, enough work.

For those saying they don't understand - what's happening here is that if something increases by a given percentage, then the percentage increase refers to the original chance of, say, X happening.
X increased by Y% means:
Multiply Y by 0.01 (because percentages are really just fractions of 100. So e.g. 5% = 0.05; 10% = 0.1; 15% = 0.15; 80% = 0.8; etc)
Multiply the original % chance (not multiplied by 0.01, since you want a final answer that is still a % chance) of X happening by the answer to #1
Add the result you got in #2 to the original chance of X
Congrats! You now know what the new chances are of X happening!

I’m Australian so the figures would be different down here but that doesn’t stop me from feeling joy that I’m a part of something that helps so many people. My local church alone has a community garden that I work in where most of the produce is donated to the food bank or given to parishioners for free, a recycling program, a shared soup kitchen with the uniting church, a free morning tea after mass twice a week and (plus more) is just charitable to the community, and this is a very small church with only around <30-50 regular attendees, so imagine just how much good the large churches can do!
It has been on my mind lately while posting more segments of the Bog Knight (Wrought Rot) comic on Webtoon, who among you read it?
finals week + fandom stats
Hello friends!
Finals week is upon me and as such I have had to prioritize. This means that despite me chomping at the bit to get more done for my original story, I have unfortunately not done much. For one of my classes, however, I recently did a final analysis on my work. (In fact, it was the same class I started this blog for. ᕱ__< ) In this final analysis I came to some conclusions about one of my projects that made me quite sad. Despite all of the hardwork and effort I put into it, I failed to make an engaging piece of digital media. It was a good piece, but it missed the mark in several areas. BUT! I feel as though it may be of some interest to my fellow fandom nerds here on tumblr. So, since I don’t have much new work to share with y’all this week, I figured I’d release this project into the wild.
For some background information: the assignment was to create an infographic. I wanted to make it something relevant to my interests, so I was struggling a little to come up with something fun and interesting until I remembered a video I saw back when I used to have TikTok. (Yes, I had TikTok. It was cool and fun and all, but it took too much time from my day so I deleted it a little over a year ago. But I digress.) The person in this video was throwing out some fandom stats from Archive of Our Own (popular fanfiction website, though I’m sure most of y’all know that) and I wondered if I would be able to collect my own data from AO3 and make an infographic of that. And so I did.
Needless to say, the data collection took a lot of work. A LOT of work. And once I was finished with gathering, I sorted. And once I was finished sorting, I did some math (incorrectly) and then some more math (correctly) and created my infographic using Adobe Illustrator. And it was okay. If I had the technological skills and know-how to do so, I would have made it an interactive graph which would give you more data when you clicked on stuff. But I didn’t have the skills or know-how. The resulting infographic kinda hits you in the face with a bunch of info and it’s kind of overwhelming.
So, like I said, it’s not my best work, but I definitely learned a lot from it. And mayhaps y’all might find the information fascinating so… behold, I suppose:
What do you make of it? Is the information surprising? Unsurprising? Completely and utterly uninteresting to you? Let me know! And for those of y’all in college/university with me: good luck on your finals if you have yet to take them and I'm sure you aced your finals if you have already taken them! And if I survive, I’ll see y’all next week! ᕱ__ᕱ
Just remember to dot your j’s and cross your t’s (especially on your final essays)!

P.S. Remember that I am posting a second extra content post this week as well!! Look out for that coming soon!
in RStudio. straight up “instolling it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. My pakage
Just watched No Country for Old Men, and I’m fascinated by the psychological difference between first calling then flipping a coin, and flipping the coin first and calling while it is covered. This is despite the two scenarios being statistically identical.
Calling first, both options are at time identical and there is no wrong answer. Flipping first, there is a definite right and wrong answer, you just don’t know which is which. The onus is entirely upon you to make the right call, rather than on random chance to make your call the right one.
