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.
