I know how to run a hypothesis test. My issue lies with obtaining a StdDev for the ratio of kills to deaths. ;[
I want to create a confidence interval for my KDR of a random game. I need a StdDev of the ratio before I can do that. Dividing means works fine. Dividing StdDev of both samples doesn't work out right...
My current data has:
This comes out to a Mean KDR of 2.67.
Sqrt(6.3^2/4.12^2)=1.53
Mean of 2.67, StdDev of 1.53... That strikes me as wrong, since almost a third of my games will have me with under 1.00 KDR. (Quick mental calculation that might be wrong)
