User blog:BunsenH/Ghazt Stats Phase 3: Wishing Torches - Report 4

Huh. I thought I'd posted about some of the other steps in this research phase before now. Oh, well. Stuff gets away from me from time to time; life has been a bit overwhelming.

The "minions" have continued breeding Ghazts from Entbrats and T-Roxes, with different numbers of Wishing Torches. Again, the purpose is to determine the effects of the torches. All of the other factors have been kept constant, so any effects can be assumed to be due to the torches.

We did 4523 breeding tries with 4 torches lit. The results were 4269 T-Roxes and 254 Ghazts. This is an overall success rate of (5.62 ± 0.34)%. In retrospect, we should probably have done more tries; the uncertainty there is a lot larger than I'd prefer.

With 7 torches lit, we did 13313 tries. (We did only 8190 originally, but went back and did some more so the uncertainties would be smaller.)  Results: 12236 T-Roxes, and 1077 Ghazts. The success rate there is (8.09 ± 0.24)%.

And with 10 torches lit, we did 10128 tries, giving 8987 T-Roxes and 1141 Ghazts. Success rate: (11.27 ± 0.31)%.

As always, thanks to the "minions" for the work. They have done a lot of it.
