If I may, I'd like to confuse Stu's response on the way toward a cleaner answer (well, try for cleaner, anyway). for Chi sq, look in the equation and you will see the numerator is the square of the difference of observed and expected. So any deviation from expected will increase the total chi-sq

Hello All, Let me apologise in advance -- I assume I am about to raise a very simple / silly topic, but I don't have a background in Stats, so it's hard for me to tell a sensible question from one that isn't. Let me set the scene for my question: I work in a large business that loves to circulat

I assume you are interested in the expected value (E) of the number of different balls. Then, E= SUM j*P{selected j different balls} over i=1 to M1. Now, P{selected j different balls}= sub(N)Csub(j)*(j/N)^N, where sub(N)Csub(j) is the number of possible combinations of j items selected from N item

Hi, there! The current demo version of Winstat for Excel (www.winstat.com) does not work for me. Whatever data range is selected, the results are based not on the selected data but on some built-in sample data (it is very easy to see instantly, because the sample data are in German). I tried to c
