Suppose for argument this statistic were true. It still does not fully capture people's risk.
P(malware) = P(nalware | Google Play) * P(Google Play) + P(malware | non-Google Play) * P(non-Google Play)
It's the combination of both factors that counts. Even if Google Play has a lower malware rate, a user is still far more likely to try to install apps through Google Play given the sheer size of its catalog and its prominent, default placement on people's devices.
