[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 772121, member: 927"] If you are talking about lying with statistics, yes it exists. I once read a book on that. If you search the web, you will see many links on "lying with statistics". However, probability and statistics are good science. At least when done properly. They are used all around us and every day. Election polls Manufacturing quality assurance / testing Television ratings Weather forecasts Gambling Healthcare / disease predictions Medical studies Insurance Everything can be misused. It doesn't mean that the "science" is not good. The key to know if someone is "lying with statistics" or properly using statistics is to learn about the process. P-Man [/QUOTE]
