Talk:Jerry Box

Can a few other people commit to
 * 1) Keeping track of the frequencies at which different rarity Jerrys spawn (Regardless of whether or not you were able to kill them.)
 * 2) Keeping track of what loot types you've gotten from each type of jerry (Buying boxes to open from the AH counts.)

For (1), the data has to include even the less cool green Jerrys, so when a guild member says "I got a legendary Jerry", this should not get recorded because they won't be telling the chat when they also get other rarities. Instead, you will have to commit to logging all of your Jerrys. (Alternatively, asking what was the rarity of the last jerry you got counts, because this would not be biased towards the rarer ones.)

Here is my data so far on every jerry I've spawned and every jerry box I've opened during this event, but I don't think that it's worth uploading to the main page until we get much more data. If you're collecting your own data, post your own tables. Do not override the values in this table. We will combine everyone's tables once there is enough data to make it worthwhile to add to the main page.

Acquisition of reliable statistics regarding jerry boxes
I am currently working along with a few other people to set up a system to acquire such data for jerries but hopefully in the long run for anything we are not given concrete numbers. I have added your data to a spreadsheet you can view at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13xOSQnsvTAQ5DENnU88qgURoIa1t77oTKCakCjBdSmE/edit?usp=sharing. Using statistics along with a sufficiently high amount of data, we should be able to accurately determine such numbers. Feel free to view what is there so far.

That being said I haven't heard anything from the others involved in a while so I'm not sure if we will be able to get something running. If anyone wants to share data feel free to place it in this talk or message me. I can manually add it.

If people show interest or the others in the team start working on a method to acquire the data, I will set up the page for Jerry Box loot data.

For now I have a 95% Confidence Interval set up which enables us to check how accurate the current numbers are. At the time of writing this, the conditions for its mathematical significance aren't met as we need a minimum of 10 of each jerry spawn type.

I've updated my table with my final observed values for the May 2021 Jerry Mayorship. Samueljr17 (talk) 03:58, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
