: Murray, EngelUmpocker has answered the simple question.  You have not.  Do I need to ask it again?  "Suppose a disease has an overall incidence of 1 in 1000.  Suppose next that among 50 people who worked in a particular mine, 5 came down with the disease.  Do you dismiss the data and continue sending more women into the mine?  Yes or no, please."--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:59, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

::::The rational answer is that it depends on the disease, and the likelihood that it could be related to mining.  Based on working in close quarters, 80% of the women working in the same mine could catch the same case of chicken pox, but no one would suggest that mining causes chicken pox. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 21:26, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
    
::: The list given on the previous page includes women being born in the 1940s.  Shirley Temple was born in 1928.  Going back to touring female singers who were between 22 and 30 with the same range can eaisly get 50 women.  And so, as I grab the list I had before... Michelle Phillips,  Carole King, Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Betty McGlown, Diana Ross, Barbara Martin, Cindy Birdsong, Jean Terrell, Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, Susaye Greene, Martha Reeves, Rosalind Holmes, Annette Helton, Gloria Williams, Betty Kelly, Lois Reeves, Sandra Tilley, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Hallwell, Anasol, Carolina la O, Fanny Lu, Carolina Herrera, Shakira, Toto la Momposina, Veronica Orozco -- from just a quick sample of a few 'girl groups', some classic rock and a South American country.  --[[User:Rutm|Rutm]] 19:24, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
