   Any ideas, anyone? I am thinking of using IMSL (which comes free with
 Compaq
   Visual Fortran). Can I do better?

See R which is free and includes all the matrix manipulation functions that
you will probably require. http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/

You certainly wouldn't expect statisticians to be gullible, now, would
you?

Actually, he is not thinking at all. I get a ton of spam that comes via
this newsgroup. Somehow, the address got on some spam CD. Now, everyone who
buys that spam CD sets us the same tired old junk.

About half of my total spam, or at least the spam that gets through my
filters, somes via this newsgroup. I have come close dropping it several
times for this reason. I wish there was some way that some of this spam
could be cleaned up before it was sent on to us.

Comment on Powerball---Expected Value

2001-09-01 Thread David Heiser

Jordan Ellenberg has an interesting comment on the statistical aspects of
the expected value of a Powerball ticket. It was posted on Microsoft
Internet Explored, Saturday Sept 1st under Slate.

If you can't get it, I saved the text version and can send it as an e-mail
attachment upon request. Try Internet Explorer first.
