Strong Indonesian quake kills 32, flattens homes.
JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A disaster management official says
the death toll from a powerful Indonesian earthquake has
more than doubled to 32, in a report on Sept 3.
Later
the count was increased to at least 75, probably 100. And the
magnitude, originally said to be 7.0, was actually much
higher, with estimates ranging from 7.4 to 7.7.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck at 2:55
p.m. (0755 GMT) off the southern coast of the main island of
Java. A tsunami alert was issued but revoked less than an
hour later.
The GCP event was set for the 24 hour GMT day, to include
some time before, and most of the day after the quake to
include developing knowledge of the quake. The result is
Chisquare 86783 on 86400 df for p = 0.178 and Z = 0.922.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical
effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish signal from
noise. This means that every "success" might be largely
driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect
can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
