[05:52:55] <AzumaHazuki> apropos of nothing, i find it hilarious that you can tell someone "ins 1 pr stat" in the pharmacy and basically mean "shove it up your ass"
[05:53:18] <AzumaHazuki> literally "insert one by rectum immediately"
[06:08:50] <FatPhil> nice! or not, depending on which end of the exchange you're on.
[06:09:06] <AzumaHazuki> okay, got a 91 on a rather comprehensive practice exam, about 30% longer than the real thing. I *think* I'm ready but will continue studying
[06:09:15] <AzumaHazuki> doomsday is 18 Feb
[06:10:02] <FatPhil> what's the passable score? 91 sounds a pretty solid result.
[06:10:29] <AzumaHazuki> scores range from 1000 to 1600, and 90 of 100 questions (iirc) are scored
[06:10:42] <AzumaHazuki> 1400 is passing, i.e., 60 of the 90 correct
[06:11:05] <AzumaHazuki> buuuuuut since you don't know which are scored or not, assume you need 70 of 100
[06:13:34] <FatPhil> is this a sneaky way of getting you to learn experimental statistics, margins of error, differences between type 1 and typ2 errors, etc?
[06:16:40] <FatPhil> having said that "assuming 10 answers will be thrown away, assume all 10 will be ones you got right" could be teaching really bad statistical inference.
[06:19:47] <AzumaHazuki> i have no idea about this statistically. all i know is i seem to have rolled a negative number for Luck
[06:20:05] <AzumaHazuki> so i always, always, always plan for the worst case scenario i can, and many times even that turns out not to have been bad enough
