Hi,
I've processed the data that LennyLen provided so far.
Total of 433 data points, of which four were 7 or below and three were 99 or above. After eliminating these seven points, I used the remaining 426 for the analysis.
The results were:
The histogram with zeros removed is:
It is interesting that the first quartile and the median went up by seven years and the average went up by six. That seems to indicate an aging population. That the mode went up by ten years in ten years could indicate that there is a large core who've aged with the site. Or not B)
Of some concern is the small sub 18 population. That could either indicate that we're not attracting much 'young' talent. That may be good, since the Lurkers do tend to be more mature. Hopefully the people under 18 represent the more mature of their age group. That's definitely the case with the ones I've interacted with -- most were more mature (OK, more level headed) than I.;)
It will be interesting to see if this sample is representative of the population.
