Sample Size of SnGs Needed to Approach a Normal Distribution
I am trying to figure out the standard deviation of my winrate. Of course, I cannot do this per SnG or even per hour since I only get in 5 per hour. I have been told that that are no hard mathematical tools, forumlas, etc, to estimate the needed sample size for any given data sample to approach a normal distribution. Usually '25' is thrown around, but that sounds pretty arbitrary. Anyone have any opinions concerning sit and goes?
Oh, and these are the 55+ sngs on Party.

You better hope that Irieguy, Citunal, Eastbay, Suited66's and ChickenPherzen are in good moods when they read this.

Re: Sample Size of SnGs Needed to Approach a Normal Distribution
one of the following four things is said in jest:
1) you need no more than 10 sngs to tell your win rate pretty accurately. 2) you should be wary of any future advice from the person that gave you the 25 number, he's way off. 3) you should learn to use the search function immediately 4) it's very likely i don't like you, as a person. citanul

Re: Sample Size of SnGs Needed to Approach a Normal Distribution
I don't understand your question...
What STT data are in interested in? Winrate? Try 25x1000 STTs to figure that out with any sort of accuracy. ITM? Try 25x100. Again, these numbers are still far short of where you'd really want them to be. Who is throwing around 25? And 25 whats? 25 widgets? 25 Salt Crackers? 25 curtains? 25 Dali paintings? 25 'Skipperbobs*'??!?!?! Oh and if you want to know SD for STTs, it's between 1.5-2....very likely close to 1.7...but I'm not sure what this will help you with SINCE I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION AT ALL!?!!?!
