'Fraid it's a meaningless exercise. The numbers may not lie, but the results suggest the sample was a bit skewed. <BR> <BR>Do not wait for a job offer as my court statistician in the near future. <BR> <BR>twenj

TopTen, <BR> <BR>I'm afraid your statistics exercise did not work. If you look closely at the responses to that thread, posters did not answer it the same way. Some people <BR>rated the cities from 1 to 10, 1 being the worst rating and 10 being the highest rating, while some people ranked the cities from 1 to 10, with a number 1 ranking being the best, and a ranking of 10 being the worst.

How come that Rome, Paris, London, Barcelona haven't even made the cut? <BR>Disregard Nice, Florence, Budapest, Istambul. <BR>How many people on this board visited Copenhagen to bring it to the top 10?

Larisa, <BR>This is a follow-up to a question by some poster wanted feedback on ONLy those 10 places. That is why Paris, London, etc., were not on that list.

How many responses were received - 20? 50? 100? Even if 1000 responded, it represents a very small sample size. Did everyone rank the same cities or did they just list their favorites? It makes a difference.
