@ScreamAtTheTV@WasatchSnow@ChaseThomason Nah, it was *about* 70.5% before the 5% increase.
5% of 70.5% is about 3.5% (I rounded for simplicity)
Increase 70.5 by 3.5, we get 74%
Being a math professor is like, "Here is this carefully crafted beautiful piece of math that is the epiphany of centuries of intellectual investigation."
Student: is this on the test?

@caseyoanderson @DeidreHenderson True. 30,600 races because each of the 850 ballots had 36 races on them. But still, it’s 46 errors made on only a small sample of 850 ballots. Scaling this up to 105,000 ballots for a large election, that would mean we’d predict 5682 errors, which isn’t insignificant.
@KyleTreasure Example: My kids leave my mom’s house every time with pockets full of candy. I beg my mom to stop giving them so much, but she won’t, she doesn’t have to listen to me… the spoiling continues
@Stretch70x@BruceBartlett Averages are distorted by outliers. That is why with housing costs and incomes for example, median is always used rather than an average.
@tom_nonbeliever@kareem_carr In making a confidence interval, we are trying to make a claim about a population value. Many times, for example, a confidence interval is trying to capture the “true” population average or “true” population proportion within it.
@tribjazz My dad sat behind him for years. He said Rick used to bring a stack of those yell cups every game and throw them out to those around him. He was so careful throwing them to the people, slowly motioning throwing them 3-4 times so the people would be ready and not get hurt.
@KeepinItNil@NateForUtah Stats 101- Assuming they *randomly* chose the registered voters to poll, then 808 people is a totally sufficient sample size to get an accurate representation of the population (which in this case is registered voters in Utah— not all Utahns as Nate said.)
