Might be because it's required that you're 13 to register on this website legally, and choosing less than 13 proves you didn't even read the registration rules.

I'm surprised that my age group (19-21) is the one with the most votes, I expected it to be more teenagers than young adults (young adults as in... still young. xP)

Y U NO HAVE OVER 9000?!?!?

LOL

Spoiler

sorry for teh allcapz

Costello's idea is good. All the birthday information is public, and if you don't want it out there (in the depths of the internet, lol) then you shouldn't have signed up in the first place.

Also, people lying about their age shouldn't be a problem, especially if it's for a statistics project, as those are factors that you would take into consideration when analysing your data. All surveys will have false data in them, no matter how hard you try to keep them accurate.

 

[Jordon]

Voted for you man. (adding this little bit, as I feel a single word reply is sort of a post-needy thing.) xD

 

[Veho]

A poll only contains information that members are willing to submit.

But then the poll is skewed by a possible variance in the willingness of certain age groups to vote in polls.

 

[awssk8er]

Wow, my birthday in my profile is actually accurate.

I normally put my real information for stuff, but I thought I faked it here for some reason.

Guess cuz we're the children of the first gamer generation and the first one to be brough up by computers/game consoles. (and I ain't talking about commodore here )

Lol... My first consoles were a snes and a mega drive, I become addicted to Sonic since I was 4.

Now if somebody asks how old I am, I can say 35+

Claiming to be 12 (a mistake) is like claiming to be female (likely a mistake). If it is true, you just made a mistake claiming it. I've actually seen them ban people that stated they were 12 eh.

 

[Gahars]

Voted, glad to help.

 

[ProtoKun7]

1018 I suppose counts as 35+, right?

I don't remember that ever being specified in the rules anyway.

Bullshit. This forum is for all ages, it clearly states that in the rules.

Thank you everyone who submitted for the poll.

As Costello was pointing out, I don't necessary need a username associated with the age, I am just establishing sample proportions of age groups. If I were to receive any data from Costello, it would be most likely be a frequency histogram of ages which is just as anonymous as I wanted this poll to be.

As Veho pointed out, the stats may have dependence on who actually wants to submit a poll, however, the dependence factor is very little and the data we get here will be approximately independent from each other with large enough sample size.

For those who don't know, I'm applying for the PH.D program in Statistics at a local university. I'm doing research on a specific type of curve that can be used to determine whether data was fornicated or not.

For an example, if you have 200 independent observations of test scores iid to some distribution, the central limit theorem says that the sample average (or proportion) is roughly normal distribution. There is a new area of research that takes this data and makes a comparison with an approximate of how it should be. If we assume that cheating occurred in this class, then the curve will be highly bow shaped. If the data has no indication of wrongness the curve appears linear. One of my tasks right now is to built a program in SAS that inputs data and gives results.

Part of the significance of this is from a sample of the population; I don't necessarily need all of GBAtemp's ages as that would be the whole population.

 

[SinHarvest24]

Looks like i fall in the most popular age group (for now atleast)...

Interesting...

 

[Zetta_x]

Look at the nice bell shaped curve we are getting It's pretty
