If marketers can twist statistics to support a claim within their marketing campaign, then what is it that's stopping me from doing it too?

🤓Don’s Bio🤓
America's #1 Nerdy Comedian
What do you get when you cross an Engineer with a stand-up comedian? You get Don McMillan. This former chip designer has been doing his one-of-a-kind, PowerPoint-Driven comedy show for audiences for over 20 years. In his show packed with graphs & charts, Don will show you the funny side of your world that has been sitting right in front of you - you are just too busy working to notice. Don graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. He then went to work at AT&T Bell Labs where he was part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon Valley where he helped launch the start-up company, VLSI Technology. Then after 15 years in the tech world, Don quit his job to become a stand-up comedian. That year he won $100,000 as the Comedy Grand Champion on “Star Search”. Don’s been seen on “The Tonight Show”, “HBO”, and the “Comedy Central”. These days, Don spends most of his time writing and performing customized corporate comedy shows for companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Ford Motors, and Exxon/Mobil. Don has performed more than 800 corporate shows in the last 20 years and he was named the #1 Corporate Comedian by the CBS Business Network.

My favourite statistic from Australia: 20% of fatal car accidents involved alcohol. That means 80% of fatal accidents didn't, therefore it's much safer to drink and drive!

Juuust in case anyone is thinking that this means that drinking and driving isn't a problem, it's important to consider what the unmentioned factors were in the other 80%. Other drugs, exhaustion, texting, etc
@TheMrCarnification
@TheMrCarnification 2 месяца назад
​@terranovarubacha5473 it's simpler than that. How many people drink and drive? 1 in 10? Probably less, most people in rush hour are sober, but let's say 1 in 10. That would mean that 10% of drivers account for 20% of crashes. That means that drunk drivers are more than 2 times more likely to crash. If you consider that 1 in 20 drink then drunkards are 4.75 times more likely to crash (rate = percentage of crashes / percentage in the population)

The old joke is a statistician looked and found that the chances of a bomb being on the plane you’re on is 1 in a million. But the chances of you being on a plane with TWO bombs is 1 in a billion. So he simply carried a bomb with him on every flight because the odds there would be a 2nd bomb is so much higher.

This is a joke for the many people who don't get probability. A statistician would know that the chance of a second bomb being on the plane when you are already sure there is one is exactly the same as one being on the plane in the first place.

I’ve used the Alzheimer’s and smoking one as an example to my friends or students for how stats can be twisted. Heard it first by a prof back in grad school who said something along the lines of “Smoking has a lot of negative health effects, but it’s one of the few things known to drastically reduce your chances of getting Alzheimer’s.” I don’t think most people got it.

He didn’t really talk about it, but that’s the problem with random polls where they ask 1,000 people. If you went to a school with 2,000 kids, or lived in a town of 5,000 people and 1,000 of those people were polled, it might have some relevance. If you poll 1,000 people and it’s suppose to represent 332 Million people, then anything you gleaned from the poll is meaningless. We polled 1,000 people and 12 of them have been to the moon, therefore, it’s estimated that almost 4 million people have been to the moon.
