The piano gender gap

[allchopin]

I had to post this tidbit of piano-related demographics in the forum.  Here's a link to a survey I took about a year back where I had calculated the male:female ratio of the whole forum from a rough sample of about 15 people.

The interesting thing is that Nils has now added a male:female ratio counter into the site:  the real percentage of males/females is 71%/29%, while my survey showed 69%/31%.  Amazingly close!  I guess it goes to show that random sampling works (when it's truly random anyway).

I remember that thread.  You begged people to stop responding as you already had the data, correct?  So you also learned that telling people not to do something will mean they ignore the "not" and just "do".
