Distribution of b&hammer pictures

Name: Anonymous 2009-01-25 20:50

After being b& this afternoon, I decided to test whether the pictures that come up when you get b& are randomly distributed or if some come up more than others.  The "banned" page loads http://www.4chan.org/error/banned/250/rid.php, which generates a random image from 33 possibilities.  I used a download utility to download 5909 such images.  The 33 images and the frequency in which they came up is listed below, along with a rapidshare containing all 33 files.

Assuming a uniform distribution, I calculated a chi-squared value of 29.3637, which gives a probability of .601 of seeing the observed deviance or greater from uniform distribution.  From this we conclude that the b& pictures are probably generated truly randomly.

Interesting. Where will this be published?

.601 is not great, and 'probably' does not fly. You need two standard deviations. Come back when you reach .97 .

*facepalm*

Retarded pseudo-Science. GTFO.

Also, how about instead of wasting bandwidth, you just, I don't know, get the scripts and read the documentation? SPOILERS: It isn't actually very random at all.

Don't change these.
