Simple Random Sampling

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or random:

    If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that—but that isn’t simple.
    Louis B. Lundborg (1906–1981)

    Novels as dull as dishwater, with the grease of random sentiments floating on top.
    Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
