LETTER TO THE EDITORCuban poll is in vainSaturday, December 16, 2006Dear Sir:
Unfortunately the efforts of this poll ("Cubans unhappy with lack of freedom, poll shows") are in vain. Anyone who has taken any basic statistics course knows that in order for a statistical sample to valid it must be random. Quote: It is unfortunate that the organizers could not get to these areas and produce a proper statistical report with true random samples. This is like going to New York and polling the satisfactory level of the war in Iraq and publishing it as a national opinion. I am not justifying Cuban policies in any way, I am pointing out the fact that the results are distorted due to the fact that the polling areas were targeted and do not represent the whole Cuban population. I personally believe this is irresponsible journalism and the repercussions create biases on a large scale that wouldn’t have been if valid information was provided.
