DCMontgo,
Has been a long time since I took statistics so perhaps my recollection is flawed. I thought you needed a cumulative number to arrive at the mean, median and mode.

Since there are 109 participants but only 44 replies to the post how did you arrive at the cumulative age? Did I forget a key element in statistics 101?

DD,
You are right. You cannot calculate an accurate mean (average) by using intervals. And you definitely cannot have a mode or median. You need a series of numbers for both. Median would be the middle age if you lined up all the ages in ascending order and mode would be the most frequent age. Neither can be calculated from intervals.

Just turned 50, and get to celebrate this milestone by making my first trip to paradise on Jan 16th. Now, that is quite a "hall pass" from my wife.

Did you guys know that 41.358% of stats are made up on the spot! What we have neglected, so far, is there is always a standard deviation, in that random sample, or not, some of us dont always tell the truth!

Sparky,

Roger that. I will be sparkling clean upon arrival home. Perhaps a little tired, and my clothes smelling of smoke and chicas.

Could always try Vitamin's L & C as an alternative.

Personally like C, DO NOT like V, gives me a headache......

EB,
For your sake, I hope you do your own laundry. Also, be real careful with getting lipstick or make-up on your white shirts. That's a tough one to explain!

And......oh yeah........Don't forget what Sparky told you....... Wash your d*ck before you get home! Have Fun!

Mikey-B. :wink:

Speaking of statistics..look at that bar graph. Almost a perfect bell curve. As usual fellas, the law of large numbers bears the truth. One more category for over 70 and I'll bet it would have been perfect.
