  14. >I have a question for you, Barry.  Would you assume that I'm one of the
  15. >deaf people who can't lipread, just because a statistics test (e.g., ANOVA)
  16. >shows that the majority of the deaf people can't lipread?

  18. No. The group of profoundly deaf would have some who can lipread. What we are
  19. trying to find out is if this group significantly differs in lipreading success
  20. from another group, like the moderately deaf.
  21.  
  22. I realise that this test cannot be used to say all profoundly deaf cannot
  23. lipread. The group of profoundly deaf subjects has to represent the
  24. profoundly deaf population at large - that's the normality assumption.
  25.  
  26. I don't think any valid statistic test will find that all deaf people can't
  27. lipread !! :-)
