Brain Games how many gumballs?

[@somehowie]

Some factors that I think might deviate the result: 1. Sample size 2. Rationality 3. Herding 4. Rewarding. Given the small sample size of 20 in this video, I would say the experimental result was pure luck unless sampling was perfect.

Sir James Surowiecki wrote a book titled "The Wisdom of Crowds". While he doesn't go into the nitty-gritty of the statistics behind why this shoudl be true, the averaging tends to cancel out the outliers. While this seems compelling it may not always work especially for subject matters that require specialized knowledge. If many people in the group are ignorant of the subject it could actually lead the average "guesses" to be quite far away from the true value.

Example of Ensemble Techniques ,perfectly explain why random forest outperform decision tree.

Holy HECC I won because of this strategy

That's wisdom of crowd or law of large numbers. But with just 20 people, this seems little too lucky to get that close. Was this shot several times and the closest one was telecasted? 😉

I guessed at least 3 gumballs and I was wrong.

is this collective intelligence works on winning lottery too

[@BDSandM]

My guess was 2,400. I counted 1/3 of the gumballs from the top, multiplied that number by three to be approximate to all the visible gumballs. Then I just multiplied that number by how many of those rows I think it would take to fill the rest of the gumball machine. 40 gumballs x 3 = 120 gumballs 120 gumballs x 20 rows = 2,400

I wonder if this is true for collective thoughts and subjective truths?

[@Solitario9475]

Lol these people were paid to said those numbers

[@headgames4945]

no

[@DJBillionator]

This shows with math. Opinions, all of our opinions, matter to finding the answers. Regardless of truth. Stop censorship! Or, we're doomed..

I want a real explanation of why. ?

It's quantum physics. Suggested by Bohr.

average, simple

[@pravinmhaske]

That's wisdom of crowd, in layman terms. Also called ensembling.
