I don't think that's how statistics work. You need larger sample sizes in order to make such a statement with high confidence.
- cjbprime 8y agoThat depends on the size of the effect. The total loss of a modern airliner due to a control issue is so rare that we might indeed be there now, statistically.
- peteradio 8y ago1 event can be significant.
- remote_phone 8y agoNo. If you take a small sample size and you find the problem twice then it warrants a great deal of investigating. This is common in auditing for example.
- em3rgent0rdr 8y agoYes it warrants investigating. But it still more probably is a coincidence.
