Re: A paradox? Why not?



Hi Brian-
I don't understand your question:
******************************************************
A question that has not been voiced:
are these results significant?
Could they have happened by chance?
******************************************
If the data are weather related, did they not
then happen by chance?
I think you need to state a "null hypothesis",
e.g., the delays are independent of weather conditions. This
hypothesis can be tested by looking at correlations between
flight delays and weather.
Regards,
Jack

had marveled over that mystery a long time. We had
followed the cows around for years - that is, in the
daytime - but had never caught them drinking fluid of
that color."
