A simple analysis on Obama's speech to provide insight into the breakdown of his wording. Mainly to prove that this was, in fact, done in general interest in the well-being of our nation's educational system, and not some political backhand to "indoctrinate" children.

As an addendum to my previous comment, the "drunk man walk" model of the Random Walk problem involves a metaphorical drunk man standing two steps away from the edge of a cliff, with equal probability of stepping either forward toward the edge or backward away from it. A single test, then, involved generating a pseudo-random 0 (forward) or 1 (backward) and updating the drunk man's position accordingly until he "fell".

I wrote a small script which ran the "random walk" test - using the model of a drunk man standing on the edge of a cliff, with an equal probability of stepping forward or backward - and normalized the data for each test according to the standard normal distribution ((test_x - test_average) / sqrt(variance)).
