You Can Prove Anything You Like With Statistics

by Kevin Candela


So last week our daring news-shredder Trent/Craig finds that article that tells us that Florida and California had the most UFO sightings last year. I simply took those bare statistics, factored them in with other raw data (state populations) and what do you know? The article seems to suggest you’re better off by far looking for aerial anomalies in CA or FL than some out of the way spot like, say, Montana or New Hampshire. But that only slightly deeper analysis (took a lot of time but wasn’t hard) that I did with its information says this is really not the case at all.
