To be fair, the only bits i visited were canal towpaths. So not statistically significant ... I didn't take measurements while i was there, but going from memory, i would say that the mean depth of crabapples was 2.1 inches, with a standard deviation of 0.4 inches. So to P 0.05, Milton Keynes is covered in crabapples. Happy? tom -- She got destiny, she got supremacy, she got everything ever from A to Z. |
