Powerup mystery box chance study
After geting nothing but yaknog from the mystery box of powerups I was wondering if it were possible to test the chance of getting a specific powerup. So, being an engineering student and a scientist by heart I decided to test it.
Procedure
1. procure 66 mystery boxes using old wrinkly's cauldron
2. pick a powerup slot and stick with it through the entire test do not switch powerup slots. in this test the first slot on the second row was used
3. open each mystery box and click the chosen slot and write down the result until all mystery boxes have been opened.
4 tally the results into a table for easy analysis
Data
Number of powerups recieved
Total: 66
Speed Boost: 12
Energy Boost:13
Smart Bomb: 11
Yaknog: 9
Terrible Terrors Booster: 13
Deadly Nadder Spikes Booster: 8
Calculate chances of receiving a certain power up
Example calculation
speed boost/total = 12/66 = 0.1818181818... = 0.182 = 18.2%
Speed Boost: 18.2%
Energy Boost:19.7%
Smart Bomb: 16.7%
Yaknog: 13.6%
Terrible Terrors Booster: 19.7%
Deadly Nadder Spikes Booster: 12.1%
Thus we can conclude that the Nadder Spikes are the rarest power up and Energy Eoost and Smart Bomb are the two most common powerups one can receive in a mystery box.
I can do that, but it'll take me a while to get 66 boxes.
(Also, out of curiosity, why 66?)
it's easily divisible by 6, (since there are 6 powerups), originally I was going to do 60 but I decided to do 66 since I had that many on hand after I got 15000 coins and decided to go on a cauldron spree (I still have 7000 left over) I would just to 66 since the more data the better.
Go ahead and do as many as you want, take it to 1000 if you want the more data the better, but you'll need at least 60 for good data.
God My head will Explode
For me this is a study break being an engineering student i'm literally seeing equations as i walk down the street.
I wish i was Smart as you When i read that I was like OHHH MY GOD *Head Explodes*
I'm not smart if i was i'd be aceing my engineering class and beating out the rest of the asians (I also wouldn't be failing some of my classes!). I devote 18 hours of my day to studying math and science it's not about being smart it's about studying hard. I also spent most of my childhood doing nothing but reading textbooks, doing experiments, learning math and watching mythbusters. So you give some you lose some.
Nice job, Garth.
The same way you see equations in real life, I see things to draw.
But I too see equations, though probably not as complex as the ones you think of.
I usually get the Terrible Terrors Booster.
Okay, so. I have got 66 mystery powerup boxes and want to contribute data to this study. Just one thing I wanted to check: did you go through all the boxes in one go or was the data collected over a period of time?
All at the same time
I'm reviving this because I finally have 200 mystery boxes
