No Free Hunch: A small Set of Economics and Stats Experiments for Peasants

Free Hunch #1: I am an INTJ

Srishti kids are predominantly introverted

What are we looking at, data-wise? A proportion, which if more than 50% would justify our hunch. So we do an MBTI on some unsuspecting sample of people, and try to generalize that result to the population

Free Hunch #2: Let’s Go to ChefsTouch(?)

Most people think the food in the cafeteria is ordinary.

Again, a survey of a sample. Opinions, yes or no. A Proportion for the sample, and an extension to the population. A proportion test.

Free Hunch #3: I will eat my tip, thank you.

The average tip people give is higher for people who are non-vegetarians. Regardless of whether you are going Dutch or not.

Are vegetarians more kanjoos? Or it is the meat-eaters?

So Swiggy/Zomato/Dining Out bills. For both sets of people. And then the t-t-t-t-t-test…

Free Hunch #3. Art, Design, and Vocation are all diff-different.

Grades are very different between B.Voc, B.Cra, and B.Des folks.

So? Grades of course, for a good sample from all three groups of people..and then? ANOVA of course.
