Removing zero from the axis was fine, almost no reviewers use the entire 10 point range for games. A 6/10 is widely considered terrible and a failure.

If strongest and weakest were shown on top of each other, it would be good to have them use the same range, though.

New Hampshire is a weird place to drive. People will make up stop signs , refuse /race at merges even going as far as stopping on on ramps or even slowing on the highway or moving into the wrong lane. If you think your horn or flash a light it the most common things will never occur to them. Such as if a lights green, they're coming into your lane /forcing you out or there's a danger ahead. The lights or horn simply mean "screw you " here and I don't get it. We also make up speed limits. Which I know people speed but here it's bizarre. Between the random speed limits that make no sense like the fabled 20mph on a straight road with no homes or businesses to rt16 arbitrarily switching between 55 and 65 theres really no reason to observe the limit unless it's snowing.

Don't underestimate the effect of the target age group either. My kids aren't old enough write reviews but they liked Pokemon Shield. Plus it was their first "real" Pokemon game so they don't really have anything to compare it to.

Adults know how much money Pokemon earns and how much it costs to make amazing graphics, plus they've played all the previous games so they have higher expectations.

"Is every data point a state?"
50 states = 50 plot points

"Are you classifying a state as "Democrat" or "Republican" based on majority vote for president in some election?"
red = Rep states in 2020 election
blue = Dem states in 2020 election

"Is that the t-statistic or the p-value?
t-tests are usually reported using the p-value

"And why doesn't the top right graph have a number, especially when it looks more likely to have a statistical difference?"
... the t-test is sensitive to small mean variations: the top right plot shows the means separated by a SD, which is NOT a small difference ( t-test = 0.000015).

Thanks for your insights. I ended up removing zero from the axis because it was causing the distances between each game score to become not too noticeable. I let Tableau handle the setting of the axis range from there. In retrospect, I probably should have fiddled with that more.

Another thing I'll mention is that I had to setup a threshold for the number of votes that a game received. BoftW is super acclaimed, and has 1k+ votes. Funny enough, in third place was a game called Wreckfest, which I had never heard of. It had a score of 9.4, but only had 7 votes. I ended up requiring that the strongest and weakest games have at least 200 votes.

You really think a WHOLE generation ("Every. Single. One. Of. Them.") has the ability to buy a home? A burger flipper can buy a house?

Man most deliveroo riders I know do this because they need to pay bills, not because it's a career choice. And most of all, being a deliveron rider doesn't make you able to buy a house.

>It's why they are called zoomers...

Dude, they're generation Z and called Zoomers in reference to Boomers.

I mean, I read in other comments of yours that you're a teacher. I hope you do a little more research before teaching kids.

I just hope this whole thing was a joke because I fear for UK's education now.
