- jjnoakes 9y agoThose means different things. Their wording means "we checked X sites and 77% of them met some criteria", which can be extrapolated to higher values of X (assuming the proper statistical care is taken, etc). Your wording implies the same, but that's not good because you can't extrapolate to a larger X. You chose the sites after knowing they already met the criteria, and that changes the meaning.
- spurcell93 9y agoI get the sense OP was being a bit snide
- bigiain 9y agoThe snide version would be "100% of 433,000". (Which is what I initially parsed it as, and nodded in agreement...)
- jazoom 9y agoI thought exactly the same thing but wasn't dedicated enough to do the calculation.
- Fnoord 9y agoThe information "77% of 433,000" contains the sample size number (433k). "100% of 333,410" does not contain a sample size number. The lack of the sample size number makes the data (and title) less meaningful. I'd go as far saying it makes the data (and title) meaningless.
