Second Guesses
Now in the contemplative unbiased weekend, feel free to submit three mores guess to the number of beans in this canister (note: there are 10 beans beside the canister)
Comment your three guesses: highest possible, lowest possible, specific guess
Attempt to make your guesses before you read others guesses -- we all want to be independent guessers.....

I will be in class on Monday.
High: 450
My Guess: 270
Low: !00

I made a google sheet with some harness racing stats. I had to transfer all of the data by hand because when I just copied and pasted, each line went in its own box instead of following the columns… I played around with averages, medians, deviation, and such.
I used the data from this sight:

I will attach my sheet to this comment as a PDF.

Mine might be a little high but I feel like there are more beans than we think.
Highest: 2,100
Lowest: 852
Specific: 1,237

My lowest guess is 350
My highest guess is 400
My Guess is 374

My second guess is the jar is empty because you’ve eaten all the tic tacs by now.

My first guess, that I made in class: Lowest: 300.
My guess: 450.
Highest: 750

Now, with more research, I would say that the lowest I would believe to be in the jar would be 600.
My guess would be 950.
The highest I would believe would be 1,500 beans.
