That doesn't mean they're necessarily of any practical significance; or even that they're real, given that there will also be unknown systematic errors. | |
| Dec 11, 2012 at 13:13 | comment | added | gianluca | yeah I've been stupid thank you! i calculated the value and i got 8.3, hence I should reject the null hypothesis... it is strange as the data were pretty close isn't it? also my concern was about [0,1] not being a vector space! | |
