THREE PROBABILITIES
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 01:20 PM by TruthIsAll
I. Bush National Vote (50.73%) vs. National Exit Poll (48.22%):

Margin of Error (MOE) = 1.0%
Standard Deviation = .01/1.96

Probability of 2.51% deviation:
1-NORMDIST 0.5073,0.4822,0.01/1.96,TRUE)

Probability = 0.00000043424
Odds: 1 in 2,302,876

II. 43 of 50 states deviate from exit poll to vote tally in favor of Bush:

Probability of any given state: 0.50
Probability of at least 43 states:
1-BINOMDIST(42,50,0.50,TRUE)

Probability = 0.000000104934
Odds: 1 in 9,529,811

III. 20 of 50 states deviate beyond MOE from exit poll to vote tally in favor of Bush:

Probability of any given state (at 95% confidence): .025
Probability of at least 20 states:
1-BINOMDIST(19,50,0.025,TRUE)

Probability = 0.000000000000000000000000000000
Odds: 1 in ?????

9. He's not a theorist, though,
DemItAllAnyway. Probabilities can range from slight to utterly compelling to certainty, and its not a matter of conjecture, but of mathematics; which is the most certain of scientific disciplines.

3. You mean to tell me that, no matter how you cut it,
Kerry probably WON!? That I have a better shot at winning the lottery than Bush did of winning the election? That I have a better shot at being the queen of England (even WITH a sex change)? That astronauts probably DID land on the moon? What are you gonna tell me next? Sheesh...

4. TIA- Are you circulating these numbers within the power circles?
Whovever that may be. You have worked so hard to prove this election fraud...I'd hate to see your efforts ignored. Damn. You are good...thanks for being our #1 numbers man!

16. No. I leave that to Baiman, Simon, Freeman et al.
Let's face it.
Everyone in Congress knows it was stolen.
Including Kerry.
They are not that stupid.

They know all about polls.
They know all about the "glitches".
They know all about the BBV.

There is nothing in my posts they are not already aware of.

5. TIA, Try a little experiment
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 03:39 PM by Bill Bored
1. Find the Dem/Rep ratios from the 2004 party affiliation question in the earlier poll report you are using from 11/2.

2. Replace ONLY these 2 numbers (e.g., Dem 38%, Repb 35%), with the ones from the final, adjusted version released the afternoon of 11/3.
DO NOT switch ANY votes or make ANY other weighting changes.

3. Recalculate the election results using the following formula:

New Kerry Vote % = Old Kerry Vote %*((New Dem %*Kerry Dem Vote %) + (New Repb %*Kerry Repb Vote %) + (New Indep/Other %*Kerry Indep/Other Vote %))

New Bush Vote % = Old Bush Vote %*((New Dem %*Bush Dem Vote %) + (New Rep %*Bush Repb Vote %) + (New Indep/Other %*Bush Indep/Other Vote %))

4. Recalculate your probabilities based on the results in #3 above.

If you don't want to spend too much time on this, just try it with some swing states and see how it changes the odds.

Have fun!

7. OUTSTANDING TIA ...Send your work to Conyers.
All of it has to be in the hands of those that are going to investigate this. Thank you for your very hard work, a true patriot.

11. "your brother won; we have no election"
To: C Kerry
CC: John Conyers; C Arnebeck; J Bonifaz and others

When you couple all we now know from WA, TX, PN, FL, OH, NC, NM, NV, IN, ......, in terms of vapor-ballot device fraud; to all the forms of disenfranchisement now documented in numerous states; to the following probability analysis -- YOUR BROTHER WON.

_____________________________________________________
WE HAVE NO ELECTION

It is time for the Senator to step forward and denounce the fraud and disenfranchisment. It is time to form 'The Bush Opposition' and save our American democracy before it is totally destroyed.

Thank you,

19. Come on, David. I know no more than anyone here.
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 08:18 PM by TruthIsAll
I just crunch numbers.

Its like a souflee:
Open Excel
Copy and paste or manually input the data.
Set up the tables.
Calculate the probabilities: Normdist and Binomdist
Mix in some Graphics

That's it.
