[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 3835075, member: 2011"] Nearly identical? Hardly. That's what happens when you group the data into large ranges and do not look at the raw data. For example, grouping it into a single group will always yield 100%. But, if you look at it more carefully, you'll notice some differences (518 respondents).
