I had, a few days ago, done an average for the first page of the Master List and got 26 as the average age of those who noted such; we’re running a tad higher here. Anyway, 46 reporting in. ---

24 and a scorpio. For those concerned with bringing the average down, I think getting some three-year-olds would be appropriate at this juncture. Perhaps posting for ova and sperm would assist. ---

Well, class, let’s see: n (total number of posts) = 125 Total = 3982 Average Age = 31.856 (or just 31) Standard Deviation = 9.411475494 (Can someone do the confidence intervals for me? How likely is it that a poster is under 20 or over 40, for example?) Also, the median age is 30, and the mode (most common response) is 29. Hmmm, is there perhaps a reason more people self-reported their age as 29 than any other age, when the median is 30? 😉 😉 Your Quadell ---

I am 46, which (if I did the calculation correctly) brings the average up to 31.96825397. My standard deviation is none of your damn business. * * * Virtually yours, DrMatrix ---
