"The null hypothesis may or may not be true, but Mr. Ricker hadn't proved it and it cannot be proven with statistics, either."Analog Scott:
"Actually it can to a given point of certanty. And the accepted level of certanty by science is 95%. Good enough for science, good enough for me."The 95% criterion is a common standard applied to the alternate hypothesis, that the things compared are audibly different. I have given you the URL for a very clear article on the ABX site which explains this, as well URLs or links to other relevant articles on the net. You show no signs of having read them, but here is the URL to the "ABX Statistics" on the ABX site:
