Thread regarding Baker Hughes Inc. layoffs

Do the maths!

Hi I am developing a mathematical theory of the representivity of discussion forum posts based on the following.

N = the population size, eg the No of BH employees.

R = the total number of replies to a post.

V = the total number of views <= R

Rm = the number of multiple replies by the same person <= R-1

Vm = the number of multiple views by the same person <= V-1

Then the representivity of the posts can be expressed as a percentage using the formula

( (V - Vm) / (R-Rm) ) / N x 100.

Based on this formula the representivity of most posts here is less than 0.002 %.

In other words stop moaning. You don't represent anywhere near a significant number to make any difference.

PS. Vm and Rm take account of trolls and persons using multiple pseudonyms. You can use your own estimate for Vm and Rm so long as they are less than or equal to V-1 and R-1respectively. Quite happy to refine my theory before submitting it for Energise awards.
