Sherlock Holmes : Data Analytics Challenge – by Roopam<\/p><\/div>\n

In this article, we are starting a new series on YOU CANalytics that can’t proceed without your\u00a0participation to solve the data analytics mysteries. In the beginning of each article of this series, you will get a problem that needs you to analyse data.Subsequent articles after the first article will reveal clues based on your questions\u00a0and comments. Mystery challenges on this series will vary from easy to very hard.<\/p>\n

All the analytics challenges will have the same pitfalls we experience in real-world business\u00a0analytics.\u00a0Also, like most real\u00a0problems there are no wrong answers here. So wear your Sherlock Holmes cap, lift your magnifying glass, and get started. Please do write your questions, comments, solution approaches, opinions, thought processes, answers etc. in the discussion section at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n

Analytics Challenge 1 : The Shady Gambler
\n<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"98944-221426\"They all say he is a crook. He has ruined many lives by the use of his die. The allegation against him is that he has loaded his die so that some numbers are more likely to appear after a throw than others. After numerous complaints, Scotland Yard\u00a0has approached you to investigate the results of the gambler’s use of a die. The following is a bar plot representation of the previous 1000 throws through which he has made a good fortune for his gambling house. Have a look at it and suggest if the allegations against him are correct.<\/p>\n

\"Mystery<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Analyse the above plot and tell\u00a0whether the gambler’s die is biased\u00a0or not?\u00a0In the process, you may want to share your opinion on deeper questions such as: what is randomness and how to measure it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please share your comments, solution approaches, opinions, thought process, answers,\u00a0and suggestions for this problem at the bottom in the Leave a Comments section. You could ask for more information and Scotland Yard\u00a0will try to provide it to you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
