The technology can detect gunshots, yes, but it can’t detect it they’re meaningful in any way that would require a response. That means responders are showing up to areas with nothing more than the knowledge that a gun was discharged, which leaves them fewer resources to allocate to actual problems.
No one would ever try to drive through a large group of cars going past, why force your way into bikes?
I mean, yeah, 1000 people is enough assuming there’s no sampling bias. But if you’ve got sampling bias, increasing the sampling size won’t actually help you. The issue you’re talking about is unrelated to how many people you talk to.
Your own suggestion of splitting up the respondents by state would itself introduce sampling bias, way over sampling low population states and way under sampling high population states. The survey was interested in the opinions of the nation as a whole, so arbitrary binning by states would be a big mistake. You want your sampling procedure to have equal change of returning a response from any random person in the nation. With a sample size of 1000, you’re not going to have much random-induced bias for one location or another, aside from population density, which is fine because the survey is about USA people and not people in sub-USA locations.
The way statistical sampling works, 1000 people in a population of 300,000,000 is actually good enough for most things. You can play around with numbers here to convince yourself, but at 95% confidence 1000 people will give an answer to within 3% of the true answer for the 300,000,000 population.
Suddenly trying to convince all my friends and family I’m from France.

Lol, I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted for speculating about improving weights and measures in a thread about wanting better weights and measures.
I kinda thought the title made it clear I was an American.
DST is good actually. Fite me.
A million percent AI.
I just fucking tried to look up cholegolasterol.
Don’t pin this shit on me.
You seem to have not actually said that, though.
I take it he was from Ohio?
I dunno what’s so confusing. Clearly Jews invented black people in order to mess up society so they could, uhh… so they could… get a strike?
I would rather it not exist in DC either, actually.
I wish I could reproduce it. Somehow running it in split screen (which goes force it into vertical) caused it to stay vertical even after I opened OSRS by itself. But, no matter what I’ve tried since I can’t get it to do it again.
Check out Ecosia. It’s the same thing, but your searches plant trees in a responsible manner.
