However, this example seems to be distracting people from what you are really trying to ask. Could you edit this to discuss the situation you are really facing? | |

| Sep 13, 2017 at 14:12 | comment | added | Aksakal | The question should be completely re-written. In its current form it's not clear what's asked, and Bolt example doesn't seem to correspond to what's asked. | |
| Sep 13, 2017 at 8:15 | comment | added | zetavolt | @Digio Replace "faster" with "has higher serial number" assuming some company "Fubarco" makes a set of products with normally distributed serial numbers. | |
| Sep 13, 2017 at 8:03 | comment | added | Digio | I find the question to be ill-posed since the quality of being "fast(er)", here, refers to a genetic potential or athletic talent and not the actual capacity of reaching high speed. | |

| Sep 12, 2017 at 20:42 | comment | added | zetavolt | @bayerj Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that this would be a really bad way of predicting the next Olympic challenger. However, it seems like an interesting question in general and I'm trying to answer it to the best of my ability with the hopes that someone takes pity and helps me along. | |
