The confidence region appears symmetric around the mean. This indicates they are using the normal approximation. Exact confidence regions can be found, if you do it using Binomial instead. The question to be asked, if m out of n is the freq

Can't Truecrypt secure erase sensitive data they keep in the RAM, say by overwriting the variables with random noise, when a volume is dismounted? If so, I'd say anyone who participates in Truecrypt's development is also inte

This is one glaring example of corporate stupidity. I couldn't ever overlook the gross misunderstanding of statistics here. The "bell curve" is an asymptotic distribution law, and even assuming that the distribution of perfor
