I loved both of those also but I'd still rank Aviator above them. Truth be told , I'm a big Leo fan. I'd also rank his Shutter Island over them, but that's just my opinion

Fun fact: DiCapprio has never won an Oscar.

I miss stats class

You are just missing information in there. You would need the amount of cases per lawyer in front of each judge IMO to get the correct correlation. Then you could get a correct analysis

well I do have that information, just didn't want to post it all unless it was needed. Assume that the judges are 45%, 47%, 50%, 52%, and 55%. Further assume each lawyer has the same number of cases with each judge (so at 200 cases a piece, each lawyer has 40 cases with each judge).

svino, could I get some non-gambling related math help?

I don't know how to express the question in the right terms, sorry. Here is the issue: There are 5 disability judges, each grants benefits between 45% and 55% or the time. There are 600 cases. If three lawyers each handled 200 cases and had individual approval rates of 54%, 56%, and 61%-- would that indicate something that is normal variance (just chance) or is there some indication of an advantage (ie one lawyer is "better" than the others)?

I know I can't ask the question right. Sorry.

If it is a lot of work just tell me to fuck off.

I like Leo ok, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of his acting or anything. I don't see a movie just because he is in it, but I have seen almost all his movies. He does a pretty good job, and he generally shuts the fuck up outside of his movies which helps me see him as a character more I think (as opposed to someone like Sean Penn, who I think used to be a good actor, but his terrible real life personality ruins anything I see with him in it now). I think more than anything, he picks good movies. He has been in a ton of good stuff. Inception and The Departed are both super awesome flicks IMO. I think I saw the Aviator, but it didn't really stay with me, probably because I don't really like Biopics that much.

You said you were going to download it and watch it..........Phillip Seymour Hoffman...........bueller?

Oh yea, dam, I forgot haha. Ill grab it this weekend.

[Luke]

OK, I just had one of those "Damn, where does all the time go" moments when you said The Aviator came out a full decade ago.

I had to look it up to convince myself it wasn't more like 4 or 5 years.

Yeah, 10 years . Sad thing is I've meant to watch it for about 10 years but I always thought it was a sappy Titanic, Pearl Harbor type movie

Catch Me If You Can and The Departed were both better performances.

Watched a movie called The Aviator yesterday .If you havent seen it , watch it. Its about 10 years old and probably Dicaprio's best performance I've ever seen. Solid 9 out of 10 in my book. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before yesterday
