Hi Greg,
Here is an example with a 20 by 2 matrix:
In[1]:=
data = Table[{n, Random[Integer, {1, 15}]}, {n, 20}]
Out[1]=
{{1, 15}, {2, 10}, {3, 15}, {4, 5}, {5, 8}, {6, 13},
{7, 4}, {8, 3}, {9, 1}, {10, 3}, {11, 6}, {12, 10},
{13, 2}, {14, 15}, {15, 13}, {16, 4}, {17, 1},
{18, 4}, {19, 9}, {20, 12}}
In[2]:=
Count[data[[All,2]], _?(#1 > 9 & )]
Out[2]=
8
Hope this helps,
Jean-Marc
