Most statistics experts (which I wouldn't claim to be) would say here that an average isn't enough. You'd also want to include mode, range, and standard deviation into the table. For example, {3, 5, 17, 19} and {9, 10, 12, 13} both average to 11, but there is a large difference between the two sets.

:I understand what you are saying. Even though the two sets average out to the same thing, it is still an average of damage output. If Kirby and Donkey Kong start coming out with identical averages, then I will start gettin' worried. I will include those suggestions to the table. I will, however, still like to base my judgements on averages. I ain't no mathmatician either (in fact I hate math) but if it is in the name of Smash....it will be done. --[[User:Oxico|O2]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 02:02, 28 January 2009 (UTC) |
