shrink said:Well, now that you're citing stats, let me know what get when you run a t-test comparing the mean capacity losses of LEAF owners in Phoenix versus the mean capacity loss of the general population of LEAF's. Then if you really want to get crazy, run an ANOVA among capacity losses among Arizona LEAF owners versus every other state. You can even add the means of international populations to the ANOVA if you want.
If you want to use stats, please have an understanding of which statistical analyses address the question at hand. In this context, the "fraction of less than 1%" you cite has little meaning. 0.14% of babies born in the U.S. will have Down's Syndrome. Doesn't meant it's not a problem.
I get that you are upset.
I see the point of using a data set of just AZ owners. We can all see the point of using a data set of all US owners in other circumstances.
None of that changes the fact that the choice of the word "some" to describe the situation is imprecise, at best.
I think the phrase "a very few and increasing number" captures what is happening accurately, unless you still want to argue that we should have an AZ-only data set.
