Hi all,
I've had some statistics coursework, probably just enough to be dangerous.
Here's my problem. By the way this is an actual problem, not theoretical.
I need to analyze the hold percentage on certain table games in the casino I
work at. The hold percentage is the % of money a gaming table
Well said, Bob --

Are there any graduate programs in Statistics that do not require the
GRE for admission?
I have an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and want to pursue a MSc.
in Statistics. However, I have not taken many undergraduate Statistics
courses.
Thanks

Let X be a rv with cdf F. The 100pth percentile of X (or F)is any value x
that satisfies the equation: F(x-) <= p <= F(x), where F(x-) = F(x) - P[X=x].
If F is continuous, P[X=x]=0, so that this reduces to solving for x in the
equation: F(x) = p. Since, as I gather, the concern is with sample

Joe,
I am not sure how Nebraska and Maine handle this
successfully, but in my state, congressional districts
cross county boundaries. This means that the counties
would have to combine precincts from several counties
to make up a congressional district to decide which

It maximizes a state's impact and forces candidates to campaign
harder for each state. You might not work as hard with a reasonably
sure half of the electors a

I believe the issue is that the questionable balloting method was used in
predominantly democratic districts and therefore disproportionately affected
democratic voters, i.e. Gore supporters. Furthermore some have argued that
they did in fact ask for a new ballot, which was denied.

Are you saying that only Gore supporters could not figure out the
ballot? Plus, only Gore voters were too timid to ask for assistance
or for a new ballot? :-)) Could it be that they are complaining ex
post facto when confronted with an unpopular result? :-) Apparently,

Actually, the exiting polls got it right!!! Remember, a lot of people
left the polling booth thinking that they had voted for Gore, when they
had actually messed up their ballot. Based on who they thought that they
had voted for, they informed the exit pollers who called it for Gore.
