The thing with statistics - via
Numbers don’t lie but people can sure as fuck pick and choose the numbers they give you and phrase things to make them sound like they mean things they don’t
learn fucking stats or at least how they can hurt
As a wise man once said: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Stats are very important and the only reason I remember what each one is is because of a darn nursery rhyme my math teacher taught me.
“Hey diddle diddle, the median’s the middle
you add and divide for the mean.
The mode is the one that appears the most
and the range is the difference between.”
