MHB How Do You Calculate Average Event Attendance?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate average event attendance, the formula proposed is correct: sum the products of the number of events attended and the corresponding attendance figures, then divide by the total number of attendees. The first column indicates the number of events attended, while the second column shows the number of people who attended that many events. Clarification is needed on whether the first column represents individual events or total events visited. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurate calculations. Accurate average attendance calculations can help in event planning and resource allocation.

Hello all! :D

I have a very basic (not basic enough for me apparently) problem. I'm trying to find out on average how many times people have attended an event. There's a total of 12 events. Below is a simplified version of my table with number of events in the first column and number of people who attended one, two,..., twelve events in the second column. I'm not entirely sure how to do this, but would it just be $$(1*100 + 2*200 + ... + 12*1200) / (100 +200 + ... + 1200) $$? Any help for this new guy would be appreciated! Thank you!

1 100
2 200
3 300
4 400
5 500
6 600
7 700
8 800
9 900
10 1000
11 1100
12 1200

Re: Average attendment problem

Hi ryakaki, (Wave)

Welcome to MHB!

Does the first column refer to the event number, like the first event, the second event, etc.? Or does it refer to the number of total events visited? If the latter that would mean that 100 people visited just 1 event but 1200 people visited all 12 events. Can you clear that up for me?
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
