Hey, you claim to know so much more about stats than I do!  So please answer
these simple questions:

1) For a normal distribution, how can you visually tell if the sigma lines
are drawn correctly?

2) For question 1, can this placement be based on the distance from the mean
to any other element on the curve - and if so, what element?

3) Given this data: <http://goo.gl/NhFuK>, does this show a steady rate, an
increase, or a decrease for the second half of 2011?

I would love to learn from your superior knowledge, cc.

Oh.  You will run.

Come on, cc, you know you have backed yourself into a corner - again - with
your claims of knowledge on topics you are completely ignorant about.  That
is *the* reason you keep running.  But, hey, I will pretend you are
knowledgeable as you say and keep asking you these questions.  It will be
interesting to see how fast and far you run, and what side issues you pull
up to avoid answering.

The indisputable facts about that absurd debate: <http://goo.gl/2337P>

7 simple questions cc will *never* answer: <http://goo.gl/cNBzu>
cc again pretends to be knowledgeable about things he is clueless about.
