Well first of all, the hurricane ike forced the county to cancel school for the rest of the week, so happy, cuz I have a stats project due, and it has to be something interesting and I think something global, and I like sports, particularly basketball, but anything else thats interesting will do. Are there any topics going on that has statistics? I'm not even sure what I have to do with it, she just told us to collect it and then write an article.

Some of my ideas:
1.How much damage (money wise) hurricanes do
2.Something with Michael Jorckdan, maybe during playoffs or comparing his stats to when he first entered the league, came back and the third time he came back. Or comparing his championship stats cuz he won 6.
3. Something with election, age comparisons?

you're on a starcraft forum and you're asking about statistics?

seriously, progaming has so many stats out there for you. just browse TLPD and i'm sure you can figure something out.

heights of presidential candidates and the odds of them winning. (spoiler: 1 time a noticeably shorter person won and shorter people won a maximum of 4 times [I believe Gore was 1in taller and don't know Kerry:Bush height difference])

edit: if you didn't get the hint pick one any one, if you need help I recommended eni meanie miny mo.

I am assuming you are seeking sort of correlation between statistics. But for gaming, you just cant have enough information to say anything
I have also tried to think about how to analyze the impact of gaming, or SC in particular, on whatever. but it seems quite impossible. If anyone has any ideas, would appreciate that

I dont think gaming is something that people will be like wtf. That is esport, an industry and its impact is to some extent significant. The hardest thing is there is limited information and hence stats, unless you are going to do a survey

Standard weak-minded reply. Present it with confidence and no one will think this.

That being said I don't care what you do your presentation on, just saying that your above reason is stupid.
