Nice spelling. Guess that fine ASU education is paying off. It was a joke moron. Just like your poll. The only vote that counts is the one in the big white building in D.C.

By the way, it's NAY, not NEA.

Bear Down!

CaptMark, someday if you are lucky you will also be as old and have as much flight time as me, but you will never do the things I have done. Do I have vote yes again?
 
Current numbers as of post #86:

61 votes:

30 YEA (9 mil / 21 civ)
31 NAY (11 mil / 20 civ)

Despite CA Mark's taunts. I have pilotyip down as only one yea.

Gutsh!tdork: you're still a tool.

Using my ASU education (because the women there were gorgeous), statistically we would need just over 380 votes in the sample to accurately represent 40,000 people (384 votes would accurately represent 100,000+ people). 61 votes represents about 73 people so we have a ways to go. But it is interesting...

polls are still open!

71kilo, your data sampling collection method would fail even the Stats 101-sniff test. People can not voluntarily elect to participate in a survey, and provide valid results; your sampling would have to approach something like the 10%-15% range. Proper sampling would be I am going to sample by the last number in a pilots license number and skip every 100. Then you are generating a truly random sample; and then you may have valid results than can pass the sniff test. Now if you had counted all of my votes and the yes’s won, I would say you are a true genius, send it to the president for signature.
 
clyde the size of your no is no reflectionion upon the impact of your vote in this meaningless process

Sorry guys I should take it somewhere else but:
You are correct about this random sample meathod not passing the sniff test, but even if I did use every 10th of 15th pilot based on SSAN it would still be voluntary. They could simply abstain and their vote meaningless (i.e. gutshottool). But your sample percentage depends on the population tested and according to the text book "Educational Research" copywrite 1992 in numerous editions, and "Educational and Psychological Measurement" copywrite 1970 the numbers I quoted above are statistically accurate. I knew that dam-n stats class and these stupid books I couldn't sell back for a pizza would finally pay off. This is just for fun and meaningless anyway, but I would submit that if we did somehow get 384 votes that it would be close to what a random sample would generate.

Anymore and we need to go elsewhere but I felt if necessary to prove the numbers for the readers of this thread.
 
come on Mark, take it somewhere else like the "skinny on age" thread...

keep voting...
