Duh, you must accept that those who didn't vote abstained, thus stating their ambivalence and acceptance of the outcome. That's the way it works. People have the right not to vote. You don't get to speak for them. They spoke with their absence. That's part of the game.

What is meant by the definition is, say, measuring the likelihood of being Catholic and voting for Democrats. Those two variables can be shown to co-relate. With a large enough sample - though not too large - you can guess with a conventional percentage of probability that the findings are significant - that the strength of the relationship between the two variables in your measurement accurately estimate the relationship between the two variables in reality.

Let's Post Positive Things About Teachers!
Didn't everyone learn growing up that if you don't have something nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all? My Mother taught me that & emphasized it throughout her life.

This thread was started for the express purpose of saying something NICE.
If you don't want to do that, go take your negativity elsewhere. There are forums for that.

Reflective of the voters versus reflective of the public are 2 differenent things. Read the rest of the posts before you post, you are far behind.

This babble is meaningless. You cannot understand how a sample, if statisically significant can reflect the population and that is your deficiency. This is over guy.

I may not be following correctly but are you seriously saying that those who voted are just a sample?

That's the way it works in terms of the vote, duh. That doesn't mean the vote reflects public sentiment - there are too many factors to consider and that analysis is leaps and bounds beyond your level of intelligence.

If you aren't intelligent enough to follow the convo I'm not doing to dumb down all of my statements to make up for your deficiency.
