The average rating was a just a bit higher than 6 out of 10. I recently learned that sample size is much more important than sample proportion. 60% sounds like a fairly good mark. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "I don't want kids who are thinking about going into mathematics to think that they have to take drugs to succeed." -Paul Erdos |

We disproportionately represent the PhD demographers who train other demographers. |
