What is different between voting and what u have said. Lol. U Nigerians just love complicating things unnecessarily. Is this not called an election?

The difference is that it's the Aspirants that did the voting for a consensus candidate and not the delegates. The delegates will then only vote FOR or AGAINST the consensus candidate.

Bimpe29:
I didn't understand you o, how would you ask the aspirants?
It's really the delegates that does that not the aspirants.

See my response above. The delegates will still vote. The aspirant will however make the voting job easier for the delegates by coming up with a consensus

emmykk:
You two scent failed because how if 50 percent of the aspirants where mole of one of the main aspirants?.

The best way to arrive at a consensus is for the governors who also control the delegates be ask who they prefer.

The candidate with the highest preference from governor will be allow to the leading candidate.
Again a moneybag can influence some of the governors choice.

That would be a good option. However, the problem is that the losing Aspirants will feel shortchanged as they were not consulted. That's will I feel the best people to consult for a consensus would be the Aspirants themselves.

DadaStephen1:
Okay
And if each Aspirants writes the list like

1. Me
2. Me
3. Me

What will you do?

amadiwati:
Baba there is no scientific here. I would put my name 3 times.

socialmediaman:
In Tinubu’s list:
1. Tinubu
2. Tinubu
3. Tinubu

In Osinbajo’s list:
1. Osinbajo
2. Osinbajo
3. Osinbajo

In Amaechi’s list:
1. Amaechi
2. Amaechi
3. Amaechi

There you go. Nigerian politics for you

lol, that's not possible. The requirement would be to choose three different names. And the party can also make it a compulsory requirement. That is, if you don't submit three names, you will be disqualified.

Jnana19:
Tinubu has be disqualified as at 1pm today the battle is between osinbanjo,amaechi,lawan

If you disqualify Tinubu, you will end up breaking up APC. It's better Tinubu loses in the Primary OR APC choses a consensus candidate that the Aspirants themselves chose. This way, you limit the chances of APC disintegrating.

Abujason:
So that Tinubu will buy all of them, abi?
Forget that.
It won’t work.
Buhari is not dumb.

I don't think Tinubu can buy them. If he could, he would have done so and make them step-down for him by now. And even if Tinubu can buy them, we'll that means they are not ready to be president. I just think this is the best way to prevent APC from imploding

If I were Buhari and the rest of the APC NWC, the way I'd get a consensus candidate would be from the Aspirants themselves.

How would I do it? I'd ask the aspirants to submit the top three aspirants they think would do great as President. I would then collate all the list and pick the aspirant with the highest score. This way, whoever gets the ticket has a higher chance of being acceptable to most of the aspirants thus preventing rancor within the party.

This is a scientific way to do it.

My two cents.

naptu2:
Actually, it's a mixture. Some of them are armed with guns, some are carrying cutlasses or machetes and some are unarmed. For example, look at the person on the left side at the front of the line (right beside the water tank), he is carrying a gun. The person behind him is also carrying a gun.

Wow that's true. I missed it when I first saw the video.

naptu2:
Reactions.

I don't see any guns. All I see are guys either marching or protesting. Or am I missing something?

[quote author=TheBlackNoble post=110132029][/quote]No need to sho w working. However, you may be wrong or right. Time will tell.

Do not show working please

osayi90:
24

Can you explain how you came about the answer 24?

FWMM by Tiwa Savage. That song is killing me right now. Please does anyone know where I can get just the instrumental of that song without the vocals?

Just state your answer. Don't show the working please.

Find the area of the green triangle. Give explanation.

Is that really Buhari? The face mask is making it difficult to ascertain.

Nostradamus1:
median is definitely 13 but the mode will probably be multimodal since all the initial ntmbers occur once.

Yes the median is 13.

Regarding the mode, let's do it manually:

Selection 1: 9, 11, 13 (mean is 11)
Selection 2: 9, 11, 15 (mean is 11.7)
Selection 3: 9, 11, 17 (mean is 12.3)
Selection 4: 9, 13, 15 (mean is 12.3)
Selection 5: 9, 13, 17 (mean is 13)
Selection 6: 9, 15, 17 (mean is 13.7)
Selection 7: 11, 13, 15 (mean is 13)
Selection 8: 11, 13, 17 (mean is 13.7)
Selection 9: 11, 15, 17 (mean is 14.3)
Selection 10: 13, 15, 17 (mean is 15)

You are right, it's multimodal (12.3, 13 and 13.7). I actually thought it would be a mode of 13.

Nostradamus1:
I guess it should be the same as the mean of the initial 5 numbers .

Correct! If you check it out manually, you'll see the mean is 13 which is the mean if the initial 5 numbers. You are really on fire man....lol.

Ok, next question. What do you think the median and mode of those 10 values/means will be?

Nostradamus1:
This should be combination i think so 5C3 which gives 10

Manual method checks

Correct! You are on fire man!

Okay, here is a followup question. Assuming we calculate the mean of each of the 10 possible selections, what do you think will be the overall mean of those 10 values/means? No calculation, just tell me what you think the answer will be.

Another question:

Let's imagine, a class of only 5 girls with ages: 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 years. If we are told to select three girls out of the class. What do you are think are the total number of possible selections that can be done?

Obinoscopy:
Ok, I'm gonna start off the conversation by asking the question:

If the average age of boys in a class is 15 years and the average age of girls is 13 years. If I randomly select a boy and a girl from that class, will the boy be older than the girl? Yes, No, or Don't Know?

The answer is "Don't Know"

We can't say for certain who will be older. However we can say the chances that the boy will be older is higher.

ABCthingx:
It's more likely that boy will be older

That's true but we can't say with certainty that the boy will be older.

Nostradamus1:
C

Correct

Awesome.

I myself have a question:

A class has 50 boys and 50 girls. If the average age of boys in the class is 15 years and the average age of girls is 13 years. If I randomly select a boy and a girl from that class, who will be older?
A. The Boy
B. The Girl
C. Impossible to tell
D. None of the above

I think it is Simi related

If I'm this guy, I'll retire and collect all my benefits. His life might be in danger if he remains in the military.

Mine is 6.45 GB

What is Biostatistics? The name actually gives it away. It's simply a field in medical science that makes use of Statistics in solving medical problems. Most people in the medical field do not like mathematics, so it's understandable that many people in the medical field dread Biostatistics.

This is unfortunate as Biostatistics should not be dreaded but loved. This is because Biostatistics is very empirical. We use it in our day to day medical practice without even knowing it. I think the reason why Biostatistics seems difficult is because we allow the non-medical statisticians/ mathematicians to intimidate us with their strange equations. I think its high time we, those in the medical field, take charge of Biostatistics and develop it at the pace with which we understand and can relate with.

This thread is for all lovers of Biostatistics, especially those in the medical field. Biostatistics is a very budding field with lots of prospects. It's a very important tool used in Public Health (especially in Epidemiology), but it can also be used in other aspects of medicine. This thread is meant to be educational, but is also intended to be career oriented as well. Also general chats, questions, comments, jokes, etc. are welcomed as long as they are biostatistics-related.
