I think that you think that I think

Deadlines are looming. Which means I have a chapter on the relationship between game theory and video games. This chapter is longish.
But if anyone has an interest in this eternally fascinating topic I would love some critical comments. So let me know.

Looking for help: Statistical question

UPDATE: This is no longer the problem – the real problem is outlined here.

No use trying to hide it: I need to look everything up when doing simple statistics.

Perhaps you can help me with a simple question?
Here goes:

Let’s say you are convinced that Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays differ as to the amount of rainfall. To test this, you measure the amount of rainfall (in millimeters) on these three days over a period of six weeks.

You get (averages):
Monday: 10mm
Tuesday: 30mm
Wednesday: 15mm

I suppose the null hypothesis must be that the rainfall did not differ.
How do you express the strength of the difference in these three cases? That is: How certain are you that the measured difference is non-coincidental?

Help would be appreciated!

Lost in transcription

They hoped against hope. Their fears grew ever stronger.
But as of a moment ago, it is done. My transcription woes are over. With the final words: “Am I wearing a white helmet?” the last session has been transcribed and with that the curse has been lifted.
Never again :-)

(Next step: Code and analyze the logs in Nvivo. Oh, sweet and joyful task)
