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? |
