honoluludesktop Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I studied statistics many moons ago. What are your credentials regarding your ability to ask and interpret a poll? It is is a precise scientific endeavor, not something that can be done by a lay person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruczek Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thank you all for the help so far. I think everyone caught onto the moon step thing, but to clarify, If you bring your feet together and then out, it creates a crescent moon shape. I just refer to it as moon step - but I guess that is probably ambiguous. Okinawan Karate-Do Institutehttp://okiblog.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruczek Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I studied statistics many moons ago. What are your credentials regarding your ability to ask and interpret a poll? It is is a precise scientific endeavor, not something that can be done by a lay person?Fair enough. I am a college undergraduate student finishing up my third year. I have taken multiple statistics classes and am enrolled in an operational research class that focuses on information analysis. I am no expert and have no intentions on publishing any data as such, but am personally interested in things like what percentage of people (polled) wear multi-colored gis like myself, or what the average length of time between starting Karate and getting their black belt is among those polled (noting that I didn't ask who took a break in between and that would impact the results). If you have any other questions/concerns - please feel free to message me or contact me via email (theodore.kruczek@gmail.com) and I will do my best to satisfy you.

MasterPain Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 What kind of credentials are required to ask and interpret a poll?Depends on who is funding it. A personal poll on a free online forum? I'd say the ability to type. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
