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.

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...
 
Big fat YES!

Pure discrimination.
 
Yes gonna need to supplement retirement...too many ex wives and expensive girlfriends

Yes. I have not heard one good reason to not change the rule.

Well anyone at the regionals hoping to get to the majors has it in their best interest to keep the rule the same, as it is for f/o's looking to upgrade. For me, it gets the crusty guys with the good lines out of the way and improves my life. Purely selfish I know, but when it comes down to it, that is what matters the most.

It's always so easy to get a rise out of a Tempe State Teacher's College grad.

Abstention is not always meaningless. If you ever watch United Nations voting or the occasional Supreme Court decision, you'd know that abstentions can make all the difference in the world.

It's so fun busting your chops, Sparky.
 
Current stats as of post #112:

76 votes:

33 YEA (11 mil / 22 civ)
43 NAY (13 mil / 30 civ)

57% Nay to 43% Yea

Interesting to see mil guys split and civ guys leaning Nay...


DrProc: Make your point on the "skinny on 60 thread" please.

G-S-D: UofA better teams / ASU better women. You choose...

Polls are still open as this thread is still on the first page of majors. Again, we'll close the poll (or I'll quit keeping track for you all anyway) when this thread drops to page two. Remember just votes no ramblings pro or con.

Okay Sparky,

We had our share down south but tough to argue...still waiting for Stoops to take back the Territorial Cup though.

Since you apparently lightened up.......

"Bill Mitchell....votes.....no."

Extra credit for naming the movie.
