I agree that rho=0 as typically used is silly. Well are you are arguing then for the Bayesian framework of getting a probability distribution on rho.?? dennis roberts wrote: > > At 11:58 AM 4/11/00 -0400, you wrote: > >at the bottom > > > > > >it would be easy to show whether rho is more likely

If the null hypothesis is H0: mu1-mu2=0 and the alternative is H1: mu1-mu2>0 What does the test say about mu1-mu2 if we reject H0 at level alpha(say at the magical 0.05)? Not much on its own. However, what if we plan a statistical experiment as follows: Given a desired power of 0.

here are two sample r values ... done in minitab ... and the associated output Correlations: C52, C53 Pearson correlation of C52 and C53 = 0.599 P-Value = 0.000 MTB > corr c54 c55 Correlations: C54, C55 Pearson correlation of C54 and C55 = 0.586 P-Value = 0.075 now, minitab prints out a p
