Some thing to think about

Is any one on here a statistician . I would like them to do a bell curve with racers Reaction times and see if any racer is out side of the bell curve > just curious

Don,

If you can supply the data I can do the analysis.

Don , I'm outside the bell curve , on the red side . I thinks it's a great ideal and would love to see it .

Ricky Baehr and I did our stats on DRR a couple of years ago, and the distribution looked pretty similar if I recall. You could probably do something with 1320go.

I would like to see a comparison of some racers to others and see where they are in the bell curve or out of it. lol

Everyone falls within the "bell curve" .The bell curve(from my nightmarish memories of statistics in orthodontic grad school) is a result of graphing the distribution of a measurement such as average reaction times of different drivers. A natural distribution of a measurement produces a bell shaped curve when you "connect the dots". I believe the question to ask would be: Where do average reaction times of different drivers fall on such a graph?" In any case, great topic Don!
