<p>I asked this <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/263516/how-to-calculate-confidence-intervals-for-ratios">this question</a> about how to analyze the results of my experiments. In order to illustrate my problem I made the mistake to give another example that apparently made several people think my experiment actually works exactly as my example, which is not the case.</p>

<p>I made an edit and added some more context, but in my opinion the question is now unnecessarily complex to understand and has developed more into a discussion about why my experiment is different from my example.</p>

<p>There are multiple good answers that would be great <em>if</em> my experiments would behave like a repeated Bernoulli experiment, but they do not answer my question, because the experiments actually don't behave like that.</p>

<p>So what now? I see several options:</p>

<ul>
<li>Cleaning up the question and removing the misleading example. That would however make it difficult to understand the existing answers and comments.</li>
<li>Just leave it like that. Maybe someone comes along and has a great answer anyway.</li>
<li>Playing Jeopardy and reformulating the question so that it exactly matches the answers and accept one. Then posting a new similar question without the misleading example, but with more context about my approach.</li>
<li>Other ideas?</li>
</ul>
