Average age of htgth members (Jarmo)

[Donington2007]

hey Jarmo is it possible to tell us what percentage of the members are 36 or older? at least for the members who put their date of birth in their info? thanx

[Skeba]

I'd say about 7,6%. Or a bit more or less... There are error limits to these kinds of things you know (in this case about 1,19%).

So about 50% of the people here probably became fans after the heydays.

Axl still got some pull it seems.

... No. Wait, I mean, yeah. But that's not the reason, really. Good music, as in real good music, is always gonna be good music. Innit?

fo sho - if its good, anyone can like it.

The correct question to ask is not the average age, but the median age (one-half above,  one-half below, the cut off point). Average age in this context makes no sense. If you have a significant percentage who are 45, let's say, and another significant percentage  who are 15, the "average" may be 30, but that really tells you nothing. So you really want to know the median age. If more statistics are forthcoming we  can do some really interesting statistical  analyses!

if you look at the statistics it?s pretty easy to find that out...


should be 20-24....

No that is not correct. Median is one-half? above, one? half? below.

If? you used the 20-24 category, that would include all categories? below? it, which comes to 64 percent of the sample, so that is overweighted. Thus, that cannot be the median. To get the median, you need? to have the number? of people in each age, not each age category. Then you can calculate the median.

Trust me, I use? statistics a lot in my work, so I know what? I am talking about.? ?
