Problem with the categories in your table

[That is, if you want to draw statistical research conclusions from your data.]

Bones, I am not sure your organization by tier is the best. Here is why, although it's true that many tier 3 dinos have 1 egg, many tier 2 dinos have 6 eggs and many tier 1 dinos have 9 eggs, that is not always true. For example the Tier 3 sloth is reported to have 6 eggs.

The most important thing to record, so that your data is MOST useful, and can be anlayzed using statistics is the EggCount of the dino you got, not the tier. That can be best done by recording the dino's name, followed by a new coulm with the EggCount. It is only thru the EggCount that the probabilties are directly affected, nothing else matters.

Let me know if you have any questions on setting upyour table so you can get the most results out of your hard work and careful observations.
