A data set, such as airline pilots who are ALPA, that is a majority is expected to show up. A minority set such as 'former Gulfstream Academy pilots' is not expected to show up consistently. To show up 100% of the time in a large data set . . . that's why it is statistically significant. A good book on this topic is here. |

No, its only significant to you because it fits your "opinion". Period. that doesnt make it fact... |
