Huge Variance of the Dino Den [Examples coming soon]

Yep, don't worry. Soon there will be an example or two involving the variance of the Geometric distribution that explains this. Maybe by Friday? If not, this weekend.

The Variance = (1-p)^2/p ~ 2087.00048 is huge for the Dino Den. [where p = 1/2089]

Your results are totally expected and typical.

One day a bonanzo, all kinds of rare eggs, the next day no luck at all.

Happens all the time. There is no change in the Dino Den, when this happens.

It really is just luck, having to do with the huge variance of the Dino Den.

>> more in the near future, but not today. No need to worry.
