in answer to your questions. the intervals are not equal (first interval is not equal to the others) so my calculations are somewhat flawed. and yes because you have an open ended interval (60+) it will throw off the median. you can do a chi square test to see if the distribution is normal, but it appears to be. this is not as much fun as negotiating from cein or figuring out colones vs dollars but I am already plannning my 2nd trip.

I would have guessed that there were more in their 50s than 40s, but it was obvious that those were the largest numbers.

This was posted on a Yahoo discussion group. I think it will bring back some memories for that 40% of guys who in the poll were in the two older groups.

For you younger guys, just for fun, see how many of these expressions make sense to you.

@@@@@#####@@@@@#####

Disappearing Words: I came across this phrase in a book
yesterday "FENDER SKIRTS." A term I haven't heard in a
long time and thinking about "fender skirts" started me
thinking about other words that quietly disappear from
our language with hardly a notice.

Like "curb feelers" and "steering knobs." Since I'd
been thinking of cars, my mind naturally went that
direction first. Any K*ds will probably have to find
some elderly person over 60 to explain some of these
terms to you.

Remember "Continental Kits?" They were rear bumper
extenders and spare tire covers that were supposed to
make any car as cool as a Lincoln Continental.

When did we quit calling them "emergency brakes?" At
some point "parking brake" became the proper term. But
I miss the hint of drama that went with "emergency
brake."

I'm sad, too, that almost all the old folks are gone who
would call the accelerator the "foot feed"

Didn't you ever wait at the street for your daddy to
come home, so you could ride the "running board" up to
the house?

Here's a phrase I heard all the time in my youth but
never anymore - "store-bought." Of course, just about
everything is store-bought these days. But once it was
bragging material to have a store-bought dress or a
store-bought bag of candy.

"Coast to Coast" is a phrase that once held all sorts of
excitement and now means almost nothing. Now wetake the
term "world wide" for granted. This floors me.

On a smaller scale, "wall-to-wall" was once a magical
term in our homes. In the '50s, everyone covered hisor
her hardwood floors with, wow, wall-to-wall carpeting!
Today, everyone replaces their wall-to-wall carpeting
with hardwood floors. Go figure.

When's the last time you heard the quaint phrase "in a
family way?" It's hard to imagine that the word
"pregnant" was once considered a little too graphic, a
little too clinical for use in polite company. So we
had all that talk about stork visits and "being in a
family way" or simply" expecting."

Apparently "brassiere" is a word no longer in usage. I
said it the other day and my daughter cracked up. I
guess it's just "bra" now. "Unmentionables" probably
wouldn't be understood at all.

I always loved going to the "picture show," but I
considered "movie" an affectation.

Most of these words go back to the '50s, but here's a
pure-'60s word I came across the other day - "ratfink."
Ooh, what a nasty put-down!

Here's a word I miss - "percolator." That was just a
fun word to say. And what was it replaced with?
"Coffeemaker." How dull. Mr. Coffee, I blame you for
this.

I miss those made-up marketing words that were meant to
sound so modern and now sound so retro. Words like
"DynaFlow" and "Electrolux." Introducing the 1963
Admiral TV, now with "SpectraVision!"

Food for thought - Was there a telethon that wiped out
lumbago? Nobody complains of that anymore. Maybe
that's what castor oil cured, because I never hear
mothers threatening K*ds with castor oil anymore!

Some words aren't gone, but are definitely on the
endangered list. The one that grieves me most "supper."
Now everybody says "dinner." Save a great word. Invite
someone to supper. Discuss fender skirts.
