that leads to the question.
Assuming 1000 is an accurate statistical sample
which accurately provides theconfidence level that you will accept.
has such testing been done?

When estimating a distribution that you assume to be normal, 1000 is a huge sample size. The benefits to increasing sample size pretty much disappear after you reach 100 and have become unimportant after you reach only 20 or so.

All of my remarks use a 95% confidence level, which is customary in science.

Now I know where you are coming from.

Well, I am a trained social scientist. That means that I am able to, and deeply interested in, how society works and how it can be improved. I spent nine months working for a couple of research economists (James Smith and Finis Welch) at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica who were studying what determines male/female and black/white earnings differences. I was their programmer, and my job was to run the regression analyses on the decennial U.S. Census data and on the yearly U.S. Current Population Survey data.

As I just stated in a new blog post, I am blogging about this topic primarily to test whether speech is tolerated unconditionally here on steemit.

a trained social scientist....a statistician...AND a programmer!
wow..

have you been flagged? Has anyone told you to NOT post?

Nope. Not sure how to query whether I've been flagged somewhere. Haven't notice any. No one has told me to STFU about this outrageous topic. Maybe because no one else is listening except you. :)

they call it a 'flag' cause a little red 'flaggy thing' will appear beside your post.
and it will be 'greyed out"
for the purpose of illustrating what it means I'm going to(temporarily) flag your comment.
lemme know when you see it.

Thanks. Now I've seen the effect. Please unflag me!

ok
and it's gone.

No flags...no STFU...what does that tell you?

Maybe because no one else is listening except you. :)
you might have something there.
