'Theoretically, the chance of a tie between Clinton and Obama in a sample of 12,346 randomly selected NY democratic voters is almost impossible,' said Hyune-Ju Kim, a statistician and mathematics professor at Syracuse University. Kim said there was about 0.0036 chance of the polls resulting in a tie in a random sample of 12,346 selected from a place like Syracuse.
is this a place where the media misrepresents statistics? isn't it the same probability of being 6,001 votes to 6,001 votes as it would be with any other two numbers?
