Dear Detlew!

❝ I bet: If you report upper 95% CL = -1.0459E-94 (5 significant digits :-D) you will be asked in a deficiency letter to comment.


Good point. Do you expect the chance to get a deficiency letter after rounding to five decimal places (upper 95% CL = 0.00000) to be lower? :-D

As Nee asked in his original post:

❝ Is there any chance that the 95% upper confidence bound will be equal to zero?
