Re: Going back off topic
Wow! Can't read either huh? 4013 including the freshman class.
I am more concerned about the level of scientific literacy the evos possess. I mean I thought you'd at least have a grasp of significant figures.
​
5,000 has one significant figure and three place setting zeros.
​
I just assumed you knew as a literate science expert that this represents an estimate.. looks like I have to revise my assumptions downward for the posts.
​
You can be exceptionally insulting for one so blatently in the wrong. Bizarre. Without specific eror bounds, 5000 can represent at most a range of 4500 to 5500.
​
Apologies for the OT.

Re: Sig Figs
That means the estimate is an unbiased sample mean of a normal distribution where the uncertainty is indicated as plus or minus 999 which of course just happens to include the purported number 4013.
​
Really? Absolute crap. Where do you get your maths degree?

Re: degree
Sorry Ned my capacity for bogus biology, genetics, and chemistry is boundless but when maths takes a hit, I can't help but get cranky...
