| josephk417 | if 99% confidence interval is one in a hundred... Why is 95% one in 20? |
| khalifa92 | 5/100=20 |
| jjenkins7 | 1 out of 20 months = 5% |
| jorgeandre | III is incorrect because it is not expected to lose 100M, it at least 100 million |
| davidt87 | agreed jorgeanre and joseph how did you get here? |
