it's probably not even real native americans, you know how white people love thinking they are 10% native americans..they are the ones who answered this question
New poll finds that 90% of Native Americans are c00ns

It's not an assumption, it's mathematics.

I made no statement on the motives of the people who conducted the poll, or any of their other methodology. I just said 504 people is enough of a sample size to be statistically significant.
you didnt make an assumption? you literally said "assuming"
im a statistics major i know how polls work
For a population of 5 million it's mathematically NOT a large enough sample size.

That dude Roddy Right is one of the biggest dumbasses on this site. It's best to just ignore his stances on anything
Now native americans are white according to the coli. When will the ignorance end

For 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of +/- 5% in a population of 5,000,000, you only need a sample size of 384.

if truly randomized its fine. the fact that they let people who arent affiliated with tribes have a say, polling the types of folk who put down 1/16th cherokee on college applications etc, along with the paper who took the survey using it only an hour later as fuel to jumpstart the stadium funding chatter you can pretty reasonable come to the conclusion that this poll is very flawed and the paper had an agenda in mind

Whatever. My only point was to say that the sample size of 504 was enough.
I don't know if that poll is valid or not

How many of them 504 native Americans were 5 dollar indians....
The population is 5.5 million and confidence intervals when performing national censuses are always performed at 99% confidence interval. You cant do a poll at 95% interval and then apply it to data that uses a 99% interval, that throws the skew off even further.
That's like saying 99% of 99% = 99%. It's not, the interval must be consistent for the data to be valid.
Ok I see you guys are going on and on about some fake ass poll.
Just looked through the comments too see if anyone has brung it up.
