Countries with a lower score (more corruption) on the 2006 CPI were more likely to vote in favor of OOXML, and those with a higher score were less likely. According to the analysis, &#8216;This statistics supports with a P value of 0.07328 the hypothesis that the corrupted countries were more likely to vote for approval (one-tailed Fisher&#8217;s Exact test). In other words, simplified a bit: the likelihood that there was no positive correlation between the corruption level and probability of an approval vote, that is, this is just a random effect, is about 7%.&#8217; Of course, correlation doesn&#8217;t prove causality.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a interesting story from http:\/\/www.slashdot.org OOXML Vote and the CPI Corruption Index Posted by kdawson on Wednesday September 05, @09:25AM from the voting-on-the-merits dept.
