Reply To: Generalizations vs. Statistics

Popa, I’m glad you realized you were reading the table wrong. I’ve been feeling a bit attacked in this thread by you and Squeak. I definitely have to work on my middos. It’s okay if anonymous people think I don’t know anything, really it is. I just need to convince myself. 🙂

BTW if you use a z-score calculator, it will give you a much more accurate number. My feeling, without doing calculations, is that your answers are a bit too rounded. 3.16 should be closer to 1000.

I just came home and am too tired to focus, but, if you put your Z 3.1622 into the Fourmilab z-score probability calculator (to the ten thousandth digit), it comes out to 1/1277.
