Am3692

OK, for my summer statistics class, I have to a binomial survey/question, aka a question with two outcomes. So my question is: Do you prefer playing as white or as black? Please, no "don't care" or any ambiguous replies, just pick which color you prefer. Need 30 people to reply... Thanks in advance.

White, in addiition to the extra tempi, I know several openings better from the white side.

Black. I don't know why.

I prefer to play White. White has an immediate advantage with the initiative in the opening of the game. With prudent play that initiative can be sustained throughout the game. Additionally, the percentage of wins as White is greater than that for Black.

White.

You do realize that at best your results can extrapolate to those who have a preference, right?  And the self-selected nature of the sample introduces the possibility for biases, too.  Is 30 the target sample size so that you can use the normal approximation to the binomial?

I dont mind the bias, since I just need results. Yea, I'm supposed to use normal approximation.

White, because statistically White has better chances of winning.  But you should just make up answers.
