Reply to: Should statistics be a branch of the arts?

I wonder who's earning more imaginary money, Sas or MF?

If you had a higher IQ you too could earn more money rather than basing your whole life on something imaginary.

It may be a branch of the arts, but quite frankly at the rate I'm on, it could be a branch of children's storytime for all I care

Quite a few maths degrees are BA rather than BSc.

Is a sample size of 25610 adequate?

Cant claim to have read them all, but an initial supporting investigation with a sample size of 710 would seem to support your claim

There is an element of truth to your question. Certainly if you spend any time on any of the infographic sites there is some really cool stuff that is good enough to hang on a wall.

However the issue is that to use stats properly you need some prior knowledge of the market or subject you are examining and too frequently a stat or infographic is shown to someone to tell a story because they are too stupid/lazy/busy to do their own research and form the opinion via informed reasoning.

When you do things the quick way information becomes unreliable at best and at worst dangerous.

The fact that people are still tweaking stuff from 40 years ago shows a bigger problem.

A) why do they care?
B) what's the agender?
C) how much credence can we put on further work...

This fact that maths becomes subjective then puts it in with the Tate modern....

This is starting to sound like the global warming debate!

Interestingly that is being manipulated Exclusive: Billionaires secretly fund attacks on climate science - Climate Change - Environment - The Independent

Do you have statistics to back that up ?

I analysed assguru's posts and 87.6% of his posts are just insults. 12.3% designed to provoke a reaction. And 0.1% starting tpd.

I can therefore say with 103.4% confidence that assguru is a twunt.

Thank goodness that maths degree(upper second) I got a Exeter was not wasted.....

Well Sas isa bultulipter of the highest order, and claims to be an expert on statistics, so it makes sense that stats is just bulltulipting too. Either that or Sas was bulltulipting about being an expert in it.

I used to love the statistic that stated "Ten percent of all road accidents are caused by drivers who have been drinking".

This left you with a 9/10 chance of being hit by some completely sober dick-head !!

And there are only 2 drivers who drink. Its quite an effort for the 2 of them to cause that many accidents.
