The help page explain the [post scoring method](https://meta.codidact.com/help/scoring) has some diagrams at the end, but they are somewhat confusing.- ## Axis mislabelling
- The following chart has a horizontal axis labelled "N", which is confusing as there is no other mention of "N" on the page. Should this say "z"?
- ![Chart with horizontal axis labelled "N"](https://meta.codidact.com/assets/scoring_distribution.png)
- ## Diagrams in a different order to the descriptions
- The description below each diagram is confusing:
- 1. The first diagram does not have a description, making it unclear whether the description below the second diagram refers to only the second or to both.
- 1. The second diagram has a description that looks like it is probably correct, but is confusing due to mentioning "z", where the diagram (probably incorrectly) shows "N".
- 1. The third diagram has a description saying "This table" when it is a 3 dimensional plot of a surface. It looks like this description might belong with the first image.
- Since the third image appears to be a 3 dimensional visualisation of the data in the table in the first image (over a slightly larger domain: 1-15 votes rather than 1-10), it might be easier to understand if those two images were adjacent, rather than being separated by the less related second image that varies z.
