How many people loose everything once they won? What are the percentage of people who loose it all in the first 2 years?
What are the statistics on people who have one the lottery and then loose it all?
Nearly one-third of lottery winners become bankrupt.
“The CFP Board made an offer to the National Association of State and Provincial Lotteries to provide the organization's members with information to distribute to winners. The Investment News article highlighted the lack of financial guidance many winners receive from state lottery agencies; estimates show that nearly one-third of lottery winners become bankrupt.”

“Research shows that a significant number of lottery winners lose their winnings within five years, said Stephen Goldbart, a
psychologist and co- director of the Money, Meaning and Choices
Institute in Kentfield, which advices people who come into financial
windfalls.”
Reply:100% of people that win the lottery and loose it all on frivilous stuff want to win the lottery again, and this time apply common sense to their spending habits.

What are the statistics of which sells more, a single family house, or a town house.?
I've seen really nice town houses going for about $200,000, but I'm afraid to buy them cause I fear that we will have a hard time selling in the future when it's time to move on. Any suggestions as to what websites to look at or any good answers?
What are the statistics of which sells more, a single family house, or a town house.?
Most people prefer the single family detached ones. However if they can't afford that they start looking at town houses.
I have no idea where you live but I think you need to look at local sites for your area. Try ZIPREALTY which is a national chain that does local area websites.
Reply:Usually the single family dwelling is the best investment.

What are the statistics on alchohol related crime, in reference to weed related crime?
And why is it illegal to smoke weed, but not to drink alchohol.
What are the statistics on alchohol related crime, in reference to weed related crime?
Alcohol plays a huge part in crime. Domestic Violence, Assaults and Battery, DUI of course, and just plain drunk if public.
Weed, no, not to much. A few DUI's but most pot heads just lay there and try to decide what to do if they got up.
The marijuana laws tend to be arcane. One of the major forces to make it a Federal Crime was with the support of the alcohol lobby. In California, simple possession is punishable by a $100 fine. That's it.
Remember, in some counties around the country it is still illegal to drink. If you remember the Andy Griffith Show, the county he was sheriff was a dry county.
Reply:I seriously doubt alcohol plays a part in most crime. Your hardened criminals want to be thinking clearly, and they know alcohol impairs judgement.
As far as weed, the same principle applies, with an exception, many crimes are committed by people wanting to get money to buy drugs. This would figure to be a very large percentage.
The simple answer to why weed is illegal: the lawmakers decide that. Alcohol was actually illegal during prohibition, but the public was able to convice lawmakers to change that. The public has not had the same success with weed.
Reply:Economics!
Reply:Weekend crimes are 10 times higher than weekdays due to alcohol OR drugs.
Weed's illegal, because the courts can't prove an accident or death was caused by someone under the influence of it, but they can if alcohol's involved.

Christmas tree fire statistics versus other home fire causes?
In our building they prohibited natural trees this year as it is a fire hasard. I want to build the case for keeping them as my children are heart broken and I believe (without supporting data) that there are many other problems to focus on besides trees (especially if the tree is watered properly). Any links, articles, statistics would be appreciated.
Finally - is there any difference between real and artificial trees when it comes to flamability... I would think that the plastics in the artificial trees would be flamable also.
Christmas tree fire statistics versus other home fire causes?
That is so heartbreaking. How do your landlords sleep at night. That would seriously piss me off.
This site may help:
http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/fire...
I briefly skimmed it. I think if your building prohibited real trees, you should invest in a fake one. Lowe's had them on sale right now for $79. And no, they do not cause fires.. you can put them up anytime and take them down anytime and you won't have to worry about them getting fried. I hope your children don't have to go without a tree, best wishes and happy holidays.
Reply:I don't have the statistics on fires but do inow that many building codes prohibit cut live trees in areas of public assembly. Your Landlord therefore is on solid ground.
I prefer my artifical tree - the investment lasts for many years - it is non alergenic (fresh trees often have unseen but breathed molds in the dying branches) and I know that it is one less tree being cut down this year.
Reply:well i say that yes they both are flamable and that if real trees arent alound then neither should that artificial go to the buliding ower and tell him that but do not be mean about it.

Where to get Statistics for Missing Persons?
My groupmates and I are working on a project relating to missing persons. Weve tried getting info from NBI but all they have are the statistics of reported missing persons in their organization.
Where to get Statistics for Missing Persons?
some missing persons are reported to local police only and some not reported coz their families doesnt even kno their missing. hard to research these things. maybe the local radio or TV station can help coz some report missing persons to them.

What website will give me a whole lot of statistics and info on how the moon causes earthquakes on earth%26gt;?
It might , but it would be difficult to prove. The moon is in orbit and is always at about the same distance. Yes it varies but statistically the differences in distances aren't that significant. In the distant past, when the moon was MUCH closer, there were significant land tides. Today the forces are much smaller, but they could provide a trigger effect. Here is a brief ariticle I found on a magazine database:
itle:
Some temblors probably were triggered by tides. By: Perkins, Sid, Science News, 00368423, 12/4/2004, Vol. 166, Issue 23
Database:
MasterFILE Premier
Some temblors probably were triggered by tides
Section: OF NOTE
EARTH SCIENCE
Detailed analyses of past large earthquakes suggest that some of the temblors may have been triggered by strong tides in Earth's crust and its oceans.
Such tides, induced by the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon, cause variations in the stress inside rocks and can significantly affect the pressure that holds together the two sides of a fault zone. An Earth-crust tide can increase or decrease this pressure by 500 kilograms per square meter, and an ocean tide can have 10 times that effect by sloshing into or away from a shoreline adjacent to an inland fault, says John E. Vidale of the University of California, Los Angeles.
To see whether tide-induced stress variations might be triggering earthquakes, Vidale and his colleagues looked for effects of tides, if any, during more than 2,000 large earthquakes that occurred in the last quarter-century on fault zones at rock depths of less than 40 kilometers, where such forces can have significant effects.
If tide-induced stress variations had no influence on earthquakes, half of the temblors would occur when the pressure holding together the two sides of a fault is below average and half would occur when the pressure is above average, says Vidale. However, the researchers' analysis showed a different pattern.
Of the 19 earthquakes that happened when the stress along a fault at a temblor's epicenter either increased or decreased by more than 2,000 kg/m2, 14-or 74 percent-occurred when the pressure holding together the fault was lower than average.
Small variations in stress didn't produce such lopsided statistics, Vidale and his colleagues report in the Nov. 12 Science. These patterns suggest that tidal stress can trigger some earthquakes, says Vidale.

Where on the web can I find the statistics of all the revenue that the government receives?
I'm talking specifics! Sales tax, income tax, property tax, state tax, etc. Please provide the link. I will definitely reward best answer to the person who does this.
Where on the web can I find the statistics of all the revenue that the government receives?
Since the Federal government does not collect a sales tax per se, you will have to go to the individual states' websites to get that information. Same with property taxes. There are also a couple of interesting places to visit listed below. The first one compiles data on Americans' total Federal and State tax burden.
Reply:Okay, you asked for it. You can browse the entire 2008 US budget at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy08/b...
They also have archives going back to 1996.

What do you think about the decline in statistics by Albert Pujols?
Cardinals fans and those that follow Albert Pujols what do you think has caused his drop in offensive numbers? He is down in HR, RBI, Runs, and his AVE is slightly lower. I hope this is just a phase and he will bounce back soon and maybe next season he will again have his usually high numbers. He has played every game and I can only remember one game he didn't get to bat (he came in late for defense). It does look as though he will have more walks this year than any other year but we are talking about 12-15 more than previous totals. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on with Pujols?
What do you think about the decline in statistics by Albert Pujols?
I expected a decline from the very start. He's a great hitter, but it helps to be in good lineup. Long gone are Larry Walker, Reggie Sanders and Edmond's ability to put up numbers.
The offense has been getting weaker and weaker over the last few years and finally it's come to the point were it's gets too difficult for one player to carry the load. Last year Pujols was the only player on the team with over 25 Home Run and the only player with 100+ RBI's.
Here's the Cardinals numbers in the first half over the last few years. You can see easily see the decline.
2004 - 108 HR, 455 Runs, .276 AVG
2005 - 97 HR, 447 Runs, .271 AVG
2006 - 87 HR, 440 Runs, .279 AVG
2007 - 70 HR, 368 Runs, .267 AVG

Reply:I still think Albert Pujols is a top player. His first-half numbers are not Pujolsesque but are still solid. You have to remember no one - not even Ted Williams - started their career with as many awesome seasons as Pujols.
If this is an off year, you still have to take it.
Reply:He has more walks because pitchers know nobody in front of him or behind him in the lineup can hurt them.
His average is "down" for the same reason.
Playing on such a bad luck team like the Cardinals this year has gotten to everybody who was on the squad as of last season. Know why Franklin and Wellemeyer and Percival and Ludwick are doing so well? Because they didn't know what it was like to WIN with this team! Their expectations are as low as the bar goes. They're here to prove themselves and maybe win along the way. If Rolen was the old Rolen, then Pujols would have normal numbers. It's that simple. But not even little Duncan provides enough of a threat to keep pitchers honest when facing Pujols. It may not seem like it, but Albert has had cushy protection his whole career here. Edmonds and Rolen helped immensely, but now Pujols is facing a true challenge, which is carrying a broken down team. He's not pulling an A-Rod, but then again, who can? I think for as poorly as the Cardinals have played this season, Albert's numbers might be a little higher than they should be. Provided that there is one competant bat in front of or behind Pujols, he should resume his history making pace.
Reply:pujols will be fine. his numbers are still great they are down a little because no one else on the cardinals can hit. duncan is all right he is the only one. also don't forget he had a terrible april if you take away that month his numers are better
Reply:Sorry, but I'm not that much into baseball.
Reply:Maybe your expectations are a bit high. Pujols will end the season with 35 home runs, 125 each of rbi %26amp; runs, and still hit over .300. How many guys can do that and have people thinking they are playing bad?
Reply:I know the true source of Pujols power.. HDTV has the answer. I've noticed that every time he's hit a HR, or had a great day at the plate he's had a giant herpe on his upper lip.. Not many people have picked this up.. But if you have an HDTV you can see for yourself.. Just watch the next time he's on TV, if he's hit a homer, I'm sure his little friend will be there.

Anybody know where I can find the standard deviations for baseball statistics for the 2005 season?
This is for a statistics project. We're comparing individual players' statistics on the Giants, Mets, Yankees, A's, Marlins, and Dodgers for the 2005 season. Specifically, how their salary correlates with two primary statistics (Batting Average and # of Wins). Where can we find the MEAN and Standard Deviation of these statistics within the major league for the 2005 season so we can calculate P-values and Z-scores/T-scores?

How to get into a doctoral program in Statistics and the universities which we can choose?
I suggest the University of Michigan. Taking a lot of undergraduate courses in Stats has exposed me to a lot of the doctoral students and it seems like a really nice, warm community. There are also a lot of fellowships available as well a grants and other funding.

Should the NFL add two statistics that they currently ignore?
So many people look at the statistics and wonder why the Seattle Seahawks are where they are. They are ignoring two telling statistics . . . points allowed by the offense . . . and . . . points made by the defense.
It is a dimension of the game no one analyzes or even keeps, but it certainly makes a difference.
Should the NFL add two statistics that they currently ignore?
Yes, those statistics would be great, but when an interception or fumble is run back for a touchdown, those yards should be deducted from the offensive yards gained by the team throwing the interception or fumbling the ball, just like a sack.
Reply:the points scored by a defense is a stat. There is a section for that. but points giving up by an offense isnt kept which is pretty interesting. I think it should be called PSDT. points scored directly off a turnover.
Reply:If the Defense SCORES a TD, doesn't that mean the other offense ALLOWED the TD? So yeah I mean it is kept, just not by the NFL. Keep your own spreadsheet. Anyway I agree it would be interesting to see it written out so people could see it though.
Reply:I think they do keep track of defensive TDs. Points allowed by an offense would be interesting to see.

Critical value is the value that would have been obtained if chance alone contributed to the outcome at the chosen level of significance. Observed value is the value you obtain from the test statistic to be compared with the critical value.
Reply:the critical value is used in fixed level hypothesis testing. When you are, for example, using a z-test for the mean, at the 5% level, then the critical values are z = -1.96 and z = 1.96.
the observed value, the values found from the data, is translated into z-scores.
if the absolute value of the observed z-score is greater than 1.96, i.e., greater than the crical value, then you reject the null hypothesis.
Think of it this way. The critical value is the zscore(s) such that it the maximum distance from the mean you will accept for random error under the assumption the null hypothesis is true. If the observed value is further way from the null mean than the critical value then you have observed something very unlikely under the assumption that the null is true and you reject the null.
I personally find the fixed hypothesis testing levels to be difficult to teach to my students and even more pointless when witting a paper. I, and many others, prefer to use p-values and report them because the information is not as limited.
Consider the hypothesis as a trial against the null hypothesis. the data is evidence against the mean. you assume the mean is true and try to prove that it is not true. After finding the test statistic and p-value, if the p-value is less than or equal to the significance level of the test we reject the null and conclude the alternate hypothesis is true. If the p-value is greater than the significance level then we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude it is plausible. Note that we cannot conclude the null hypothesis is true, just that it is plausible.
If the question statement asks you to determine if there is a difference between the statistic and a value, then you have a two tail test, the null hypothesis, for example, would be μ = d vs the alternate hypothesis μ ≠ d
if the question ask to test for an inequality you make sure that your results will be worth while. for example. say you have a steel bar that will be used in a construction project. if the bar can support a load of 100,000 psi then you'll use the bar, if it cannot then you will not use the bar.
if the null was μ ≥ 100,000 vs the alternate μ %26lt; 100,000 then will will have a meaningless test. in this case if you reject the null hypothesis you will conclude that the alternate hypothesis is true and the mean load the bar can support is less than 100,000 psi and you will not be able to use the bar. However, if you fail to reject the null then you will conclude it is plausible the mean is greater than or equal to 100,000. You cannot ever conclude that the null is true. as a result you should not use the bar because you do not have proof that the mean strength is high enough.
if the null was μ ≤ 100,000 vs. the alternate μ %26gt; 100,000 and you reject the null then you conclude the alternate is true and the bar is strong enough; if you fail to reject it is plausible the bar is not strong enough, so you don't use it. in this case you have a meaningful result.
Any time you are defining the hypothesis test you need to consider whether or not the results will be meaningful.
Reply:critical value is the one you look up from the table
obs value is the value you want to test (test value). You want to see where obs values falls. If obs fails inside the reject region, you reject null

What is a good program to track statistics in online poker?
What I am looking for is something that will track all my starting hands in Hold 'em, the flop, turn and river. I want to be able to see a list of the starting hands I recieved and if they won. I also want it to tell me how often i would have won with each starting hand had I played the entire way through. For example, if I get 7 2 off suite 25 times, fold all 25 times I want to see the number of times I would have won against the hands that were showndown had I played. Is there anything out there that will do this?

What are the safety/crash statistics for flying, driving or by cruise ship?
How safe am I doing any of these? What mode of travel is the safest? I am looking for actual statistics with references to where the statistics are from. Im trying to convince my friend to go on vacation, and they refuse to go on a cruise or fly across the ocean!

You are statistically safest on a US airliner, cruise ship is also extremely safe assuming you are on one of the top 4 or 5 cruise lines.
You are at most risk in your car.
Reply:well if your flyring you shoudlnt be worried about anything, because no matter what, yoru goign to come down anyway, nwo if your on a ship you can go down to, but you might wanna learn to swim first, and if your in a car, well, you can go all kidns of ways in a car, at least with a boat or airplane you can only go down
