Fiere Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Is it more rare than the others to get? I only ask as I've ranked some 6 or seven to 15, and this is the first time I've gotten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Well, there are 4 animals you can get, so if it is random, you should have a 0.25 probability of getting a wolf, and a 0.75 probability of not getting a wolf. you say you got it after 6 or 7 tries, the probability of not getting a wolf 6 times in a row is 0.75^6 which equals 0.1780, or aproximately 2/11. I'd say that there aren't enough trials for you to say your results are statistically significant enough to reject the null hypothesis (probability of getting any animal is equal) and your results are due to chance occurence. feel free to conduct a full k test if you want.

mya Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 This reminds me the time i calculated my chance to miss a shield disarm 3 time in a row to be 33%. I think the help files say for you to try summoning them in diferent location. I would not espect a wolf to come to you in a river. Inless its a river wolf. Edit: Ignore this, somehow i was thinking of Beast call. I know nothing of Beast race, as i never played one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
