Adv. Mr. A. Amorai: Don't nod, answer.
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Answer.
The witness, Dr. D. Laikin: I nod. I answer. If we put 5 statements, then I agree But if you translate it to 0,1,2,3 and look at the score, then there are definitely statements that can be distributed normally.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Please note, I am not asking you about the distribution of each subject in relation to the different questions. I ask, the internal distribution of every question. You've looked at X people, N Let's say 500, you've examined 500 people, you've been concerned about your health in the last week. You got 500 people, each one putting himself where he put himself. Maybe a hundred here, 200 here, and here, whoever stays. I suggest to you that such a distribution, in which there are only 4 such acts, 4 possibilities, cannot be in a Gaussian definition, right?
The witness, Dr. D. Laikin: Agree.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: You agree with me, so apparently you couldn't use the test of Manova.
The witness, Dr. D. Laikin: So I point out again, considerations, a lot of researchers what they do with such questions, they translate the... Categorize the score, the scale from zero to 3, create an index and take the Manova test on it.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Okay.
The witness, Dr. D. Laikin: And it still gives them insights.

- The nature of the survey
Prof. Lahad confirmed that the survey was intended to find a ' level of distress ', and that it did not examine 'positive emotions'. He was asked and answered:
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: You'll agree with me that if you, if you're asked about a survey of public sentiment And you only ask about Negative Things And don't ask about positive things, you're going to find negative things and you're not going to find positive things. Right?
The witness, Prof. M. Echo: There is a high probabilityBut I ask this in so many areas, that it doesn't seem relevant to our business.
