hi all this is interesting as a statistics student who now works at a
national agency. I am aware of the number of clerks, as many as 300
needed to conduct a survey yet I still think in grad school that I
must do original research and design my own survey. May be I am wrong
knowing some of what it takes in the real world.
Now I quoted below, because many computer science students will
understand randomness as will computer gamers. Thats how I was able
to grasp these concepts with a comp sci background.
