Re: P-value help---urgent need for help

For the record, Ismail, I do not see anything in my posts in these two threads that requires an apology.  In my initial response, I offered the solution posted by Dave Nichols.  In my response to Marta's message, I said I found it strange that the Dave Nichols solution was not sufficient, and not acknowledged in any way.  No slight (racist or otherwise) is evident in either message, as far as I can see.  But you are free to disagree, of course.  ;-)

To avoid any further risk of becoming a slave to my words, I will now bow out of this discussion.

Cheers,
Bruce

Thank you Bruce. I would acknowledge your help and effort, but believe me I did
not see it. Other wise I would not post my message again. I take your message as
an apology and your apology is accepted. I have no hard feeling toward you or
toward any of those who showed their racist attitudes.

Thank you again and have a nice weekend......................

Hi Marta.  You are quite right about arson being contagious, and I really
like those words from the Spanish philosopher.  However, I still find it
very strange that the example from Dave Nichols (link below), which I gave
in my response to the first request, did not suffice--and also strange that
it was not acknowledged in any way.

Cheers,
Bruce
