Yay for us

'86-'90 is still in the lead with 25 votes, 47.17% of the total.

Additional evidence that 1990 was awesome: Desert Storm.

If only we had gone to Baghdad with that coalition, we would now be in a much better domestic situation.

Yes, due to Desert Storm my sister the AFR Surgical Nurse was deployed to...tropical Minot, ND. She got to "see the world." Certainly not a place she would have visited of her own accord (She had a Camry at the time. No offense intended, Minotians).

So to paraphrase/reiterate, 47% of respondents are 17.167-21.833 years of age. Interesting.

Is 53 out of 356 active (15%), 3073 total (1.7%), a percentage large enough to be called a representative sample?

Wait a minute. I was born on Sept. 26, 1990, so that means I'm only 17, which means I don't fall into the "17.167-21.833" age demographic. Either I'm the .17%, or we just ripped a hole in the Time-Space Continuum.

Never intended to insult/offend there, zwolf. Posts have been edited. You can play with the big boys now, and come September you'll be eligible to vote and to die for your country, but still you must wait 3.583 years to purchase/consume alcoholic beverages, legally. Feel better now?

Have a nice day. Make peace, not war. Don't do drugs, stay in school.

Yikes – a statistics question. But I think you need a confidence limit to answer the question.

Also, I don’t think its a representative sample because rather than a random sample it’s just the people who decided to respond to the poll. Hard to say if that participation (or apathy) is the same for all age groups.

The peak is in the right place, based on the target audience of this website. On the other hand, I would have expected a consistent tailing off based on age effects alone, though the “before 1961” category pools a larger group into one spot.

Do you have access to the birthdate information that users fill out when registering? Even it its optional, it might be a bigger set of data.
