[OT] Ratings comparison?

numero = 54957

texte = I'm writing a small program that allows visitors to "rate" different shops from 1 to 10 (for example). My question is this: If one shop has a rating average of 8 but has only been "reviewed" a few times and another shop has an average rating of 7 but has been "reviewed" many times. Is there a way to fairly compare the two? I realize the higher number of reviews has less influence on the average but produces a more accurate rating, but is there a way to compare them? I think (I'm afraid) the answer is no? Anyone?
