Hi There,
There is one mistake in the article. The Ipod Touch IS available and out now. I was just at an Ipod store (same mall where I grab lunch) and they were already selling out quick. Lower storage version sold out almost right away. How much was there total in stock of that lower version? 5 units in total! For a store that prides itself on a 'hands on' experience, the store person swore that there was a demo model lying around somewhere, but could not even find it. Wonder if they are having supply chain problems, or don't care as long as the Apple Machine turns out in bulk by the Christmas season.
1. Yes you can convert a true-false question into a fraction quite easily.
2. 50% of the time they were 60% correct is a joke:> Obviously that in itself would render the statistic meaningless. Seriously, for those who took it seriously, lay off the Starbucks please.
Actually, the study said that 50% of the time they were 60% correct. Might be the same if you did a study of weather forecasters.
But seriously, may be my own personal judgment, but given a sample size of n=60, I wonder what confidence level we are dealing with that the actual figure lies within 1 to 2 sample standard deviations using correct versus incorrect as the test. I wouldn't bet too blackjack chips on this one, unless the alternative is roulette.
