Of course, that's true but I can't map that to the statements at hand. I understood it to be: P(W) == P(M) and P(W) > P(M)

- torstenvl 6y ago"P(W) == P(M)" is not supported by the statement. More like "P(W), but also P(M)"
- xapata 6y ago"In one study" means "In a particular sample." A sample does not always share the same characteristics as the population.
- P-ala-din 6y agoif a study can't be replicated then the study is wrong isn't it? either the sample was too small, they got unlucky or the result is stated too generally.
- xapata 6y ago> if a study can't be replicated then the study is wrong isn't it? Not necessarily. Maybe the replications were flawed. Characteristics of a population can change over time. Blah, blah, blah. It's incredibly hard to say something is flat wrong or absolutely correct. A good scientist uses what others might call "weasel" words (I hate that term), like, "The data is (in)consistent with the hypothesis." The more evidence that mounts for or against a hypothesis, well, it's up to you to decide how to act.
