Re: N.Y. Times: Statistics, a Tool for Life, Is Getting Short Shrift

This has nothing to do with normal distributions, as Robert Dawson noted yesterday. The article I cited makes no mention of normal distributions, and I didn't mean to imply that it did. Rich Strauss At 04:29 AM 11/29/01 +, Jerry Dallal wrote: Rich Strauss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote

Re: N.Y. Times: Statistics, a Tool for Life, Is Getting Short Shrift

If the trend continues nationwide, this newspaper could someday report that an apparently alarming cluster of cancer cases has arisen in an innocuous normal distribution, and students will be able to explain to their parents what that means. The reporting of cancer clusters already happens on a

Re: Two sided test with the chi-square distribution?

Your point is well taken, and I didn't mean to imply dishonesty either -- the term "fudged" was a poor choice, but I meant it in the sense of manipulation or filtering, not necessarily conscious, and I mentioned that it was an assertion. Rich Strauss At 06:13 PM 2/5/01 -0500, you w
