Ratio for the dimples in a golf ball

[QUOTE="CWatters, post: 5473334, member: 423469"] There is probably an infinite number of possible patterns so I can't think of a way to describe that using a single number. Perhaps look up standard deviation? This is a measure of how much variance there is. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation[/URL] You could work out how many of each size of dimple there are and calculate the standard deviation. A high number would indicate a wider range of sizes. A low number would correspond to a ball with dimples of mostly one size or a narrower spread in the sizes. It's possible for two data sets to have the same average but a different standard deviation. [/QUOTE]
