<smile>

And you were sure that A is "better" than B?

But I went too far. I ask you: Are you _sure_ that for CC and the many variables
uncontrolled you know then the better performance with 99%?

Prove it. But please not just by reading in the tables in Books on Statistics.
Also elaborate why you are allowed to make use of the specific tables. You made
the necessary checks? You have all variables under control? (etc.)
