“I am using WAG estimates to prove a mathematical point, as government statistics do not include all states, every year, for divorce and marriage”
Actually, you are using a SWAG. A WAG (wild ass guess) means you are just pulling a random number out of the air. While a SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) means you actually manipulated two numbers that may or not be related to each other to come up with the number used.
Check back on your discussion and I believe you will see that I am correct. Other than that minor issue, it is a well presented discussion.
Thanks,dm!
A SWAG it is!
