I have a question concerning preschool admissions. The kindergarten that my daughter went to for preschool has a "random lottery" for admissions. They published a list of all of the student ids of the students who got in and the ones who did not and were put on a waitlist.
She did not get in, so I decided that it was unfair and plotted the data. What statistical tricks should I use to figure out if the lottery was random or not? I have attached a plot of the data in question. To me, the plot looks slightly skewed towards the low numbers. The lower numbers are kids that signed up for the lottery earlier and I hypothesise have favorable connections in the school. [image: montesorriAdmissions.png] _ Cody Smith _ [email protected]
