I'm really crap at maths so how do you take an average? Do you add all the guesses together and devide it by the number of people who contributed? I know there are other ways but that sounds about right to me. |
Yeah. That's an average or Mean.
You could also do a Median, which would be the "Middle" prediction, or an average of the two "middle" predictions if the number of guessers is even. Which would be helpful to detect where biases lie for the console base. (among the predictors)
While it's done to weaken the power of outsiders, and make a more "accurate" average in most cases... this may not prove to be the case in predictions by random forum people.
You could do a Mode... Which is just the most guessed... nobody uses modes.
I'd say do both a Mean and a Median. Median is easy.
