- This project was undertaken for one of my classes last year, and I wanted to share it. This video examines Lightning Racer at Hersheypark to determine if the Thunder side or Lightning side wins more often, and if this is statistically significant.
Note that as of the 2021 season, Lightning Racer is a lot less even than it used to be, due to a new ride system.
SPOILERS:
A p-value of .05653 means that we would expect the results to be as extreme as they are just over 5% of the time. The common threshold for the percent at which you would say, "This is so rare, it must be significant and not due to chance" is at 5% or below. This is why I say that we cannot conclude that the results truly indicate that one side wins more often - it could simply be due to luck and randomness in my observations.
