If the salaries are still too easily identifiable here's how it can be anonymized.
Allow breaking down the salary into a sum of numbers, and putting them as separate slips into the hat.
- verma7 6y agoHow would you get the distribution from the sum of numbers individually?
- jessaustin 6y agoYou don't count the slips of paper in the hat. Instead you count the number of people who put in slips of paper.
- nitrogen 6y agoThat will give an average, but it won't give the distribution (min/max/etc)
- chrisdirkis 6y agoI believe the parent meant breaking it down as "if you earn $100k, add 10 slips that each have $10k on them". The number of slips will be more than the number of people in the room, but that's fine. It's less practical than the "seed + pass round" method that someone else recommended imo (due to handwriting notability), but still works in a more technical sense.
- jhanschoo 6y agoYou're right, you can't, I was looking at the problem posed by grandparent comment of getting only the average.
