I guess I need to provide more elementary statistics since you still can't seem to understand the basics. You need a large enough sample size for a normal distribution. This is largely dependent on the population of your data but a accepted minimum is 30. You took 1 value and tried to make a claim on that value. If you had any clue about what you were doing you would realize that isnt a responsible practice.You are basically cherry picking the information you want to serve your bias. How dare you! Also, please learn what statistics are and how to evaluate them, you are quite embarrassing. | |||

I must be 'cherry picking' the data that is applicable to the discussion we were having instead of quoting arbitrary data that may help support my cause but is not relevant to the discussion. I don't know how you guys do math down in western Florida or what they taught you in the Navy, but come on... You lose. It's ok to admit it.. It might actually feel good. | |||

Do you even understand what statistic you are trying to represent? You are trying to link a law to the effect on violent crime. The fact that crime may or may not have increased for one year is not relevant. How can you possibly not understand this. You lost the moment you started. | |||

These statistics prove what? And the point is what? You guys get off on these dick waving 'WHAR I UR PROOFS followed by copy/pasted walls of stats' contests and the point gets lost quickly.

Look, the reality is that you have a basic understanding of statistics and you must have just finished an intro to stats class based on what you posted so far. Call me back when you finish college or take a more advanced class that moves beyond sample sizes, distributions, binomials, correlations, etc. I understand that you think you are smart from the class you have taken but once you take some 300/500 level statistics and analysis classes and then learn how to apply it to be able to be on the same page, the conversation would be more fruitful. In the meantime, you are still wrong from a raw-data perspective. | |||

I had to look at the stats again because it was hard for me to believe you could be this dense. I actually was convinced I misread those stats somehow. After review, I have not. What I think is the problem is you seem to think that raw numbers somehow equate to rates. They do not. England has been on a steady decline in violent crime rates for over a decade. This is of course based on population. As the population of the country increases so might the violent crime but not necessarily the violent crime rate (violent crime per person). Sorry you were so confused, if you need further instruction let me know.(I expect you will). | |||
