Why are the numbers so low? (Score: 1) by koen@pipedot.org on 2014-06-12 16:28 (#22Y) At this point 101 have voted, the highest count is "operating systems" with 14%I'm a bit surprized, I would expect it to be far over 50%, the same goes for some of the other categories.I added the percentages, they add up to 99%, which is not even 100% - I would expect a sum closer to, say, 200%.Why come to this iste if you're hardly interested in the subjects discussed around here?The only explanation I can imagine is that voters do not realize they can vote for more than one option (or even all of them) - maybe that needs to be made clear in the header. Or is the |. approval vote system bugged? Re: Why are the numbers so low? (Score: 1) by axsdenied@pipedot.org on 2014-06-13 04:36 (#239) I don't know how and why you would have 200%. That makes no sense at all. We are talking about percentages and not about individual votes.The votes are normalised so that the total is 100%. The sum of 99% that you see is probably the rounding error. 14% of the total votes is "operating systems'.This is what you would expect and this is the usual way of representing similar data.
