What advantage does this method have over just averaging all drops? --  Random Time  15:53, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * You get a margin of error at the end...
 * This lets you know if that 5% difference in drops between X and Y is meaningful, or possibly just a variation in the data.
 * At the moment, the steps are s only about 1/3rd complete... I'm working my way back to that final bit of calcualtion...Yamagawa 17:46, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * To briefly elaborate... which drops more ectos? Smites or Ataxes?  I've not revisited the numbers recently, but when I had looked, the two were within their error of margin, while the raw figures said smites, statistics called it a draw (read: More detail needed).
