Hi everybody:

I think that some people is being a bit oversuspicious. I I went to the web page (http://www.dennonoor.com) and clicked on a link that explained that Mr. Ismail Noor had left the company and was working overseas with an NGO on a project to prevent child abuse (that explained the data he sent to this list). I wrote him off line and gave him a solution (downloading the freeware application WinPepi, that works with tabulated data).

As a Spanish philosopher said: "we are the owners of our silences and the slaves of our words". Think twice before playing arsonist on the list, please. It is a contagious mood.

Anyway, maybe Mr Noor could have explained his situation better, something like: "I work for an NGO to prevent child abuse and I have been asked to analyze this table, I don't have the original data anymore...".

Mr Noor's problem has been solved to his satisfaction, as I can infer from his thanking message to me.

Best regards on this cloudy spring morning (at least on Spain).

I saw your 1st posting and came to the conclusion that a not so funny game was being played.
Now you repeat the game. I ask you to end the game and give us the solution.
There are too many riddles:
you work for a commercial survey service, so your question for the most simple cross-tabulation strikes me as unbelievable.
You ask for a p, but a p for what? A p of a chi-sq, a p of an uncertainty coefficient, or what?
Some of your customers might ask you such questions, and you are paid to answer them.
But please stop molesting this list, where people try to help in real problem situations.
