I remember a rule of thumb about statistics of "zero numerators."

If you have NO OCCURANCES in X attempts (i.e. the denominator is X and the numerator is 0), and X is at least 30, then the upper limit of probability of an occurance is roughly 3/X.

Does that sound familiar to anyone?

So that means that a "Hasn't happened yet" can be evaluated for rough statistical probability via the 3/X rule.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
