"Approximately 3 out of 77"?
editI don't have access to the reference of this quote, but it sounds strange. Do you perhaps mean that the authors of that reference examined 77 specimens, and found that 3 of them had the spine irregularity? In that case, a better phrasing would be "approximately 4% of fish have only five spines." --Zvika (talk) 08:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- I know, it sounds strange. The author examined more than 77 specimens, so why he used this number is odd. I will change it to 4% anyway Kare Kare (talk) 02:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe he got 30 in 770 tests, so it obviously broke down to 3/77? Or 9 in 231? etc. etc. Daniel 08:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- In any case, 4% sounds better than odds as strange as "3 out of 77". Kare Kare (talk) 10:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, no doubt about that point. Daniel 02:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
