BT politics general thread. Oh, the drama

74.68% of all statistics are fake.

[Tv Controls you]

74.68% of all statistics are fake.

Then there is a 74.68% percent that 76.68% of all statics are fake is a fake statistic.

[anon]

Then there is a 74.68% percent that 76.68% of all statics are fake is a fake statistic.

Oh, the liar's paradox.

[Detale]

I somehow feel this is relevant in this thread.

Conversely the smaller the group the larger the sampling required.

true

Actually statically speaking ,a smaller sampling of a big group gives a better chance of accuracy than a larger one as you are only bring in the possibility of more variables.

not true. while a smaller sample may suffice for a large group, the bigger the better. analysis of a larger sample will always result in a smaller statistical variance (which has nothing to do with the "possibility of more variables").

Which is exactly the point of sampling. You can't just pick "5 normal people" and expect them to represent the entire population. The large the sample size, the more efficient the random sampling methods are, the more accurate your confidence intervals will be. Statistically speaking, at least.

Lol Detale what is that facebook thing supposed to mean? I didn't get it

[Detale]

Someone I don't know sent me a facebook friend request. I think it was in the hopes of trying to get my real facebook info. Seeing as how i don't have facebook acct it's hopeless though. Personally I think it's one of "Mels Angels" trying to gain favor with the false profit. Meh not even a good try though.

lol o wow... I think Melvin is going to be obsessed with trying to find out your personal info from now on. I think you challenged his manhood when you dared him to expose your SS#
