Than I guess, Belgium (+-11 milion) and Luxembourg do not exist either?
LazyLexiconographer
HAhahahahaa, that is why we cannot have nice things, hahahaha, because no one understands probabilities and statistics, haahhaha

We didn't collapse the waveform until 1917.

Hell its entirely possible for Finland to have a negative population following that logic.
BishlamekGurpgork
There is so much wrong with the math here . . . but . . . it's funny. I'll allow it.
thepicklebucket
Well you need to either kill a bunch of non-finns or make a bunch of babies, to escape the margin of error

Population count of Finland hasn't based on a cencus since 1980. We know how many people we have. It was 5,522,311 around noon today.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
If that's true, your whole country's population is about twice that of the most isolated capital city in the world (Perth, Western Australia
ColonelCouch
Finland doesn't exist though

Read this Sam thing like two posts ago. Which was first? It’s a race to the finnish

What a perfect reply
Averybritishcupoftea
‘Finland’ you mean
IIbarcodeII
Aboslute or relative erorr. That's the question here (?)...
AxelBeingCivil
A margin of error means there's a possibility that there are actually ~70 million Finns sitting around somewhere that no-one noticed.
RedCamaro
Thankfully we already know the results of this coin toss
alteriron
apply this to any semi large number of people to make absolutely no point whatsoever about the significance of their collective

If you want to win, employ a Finn
shadowex3
You'd have to talk to one first. Good luck getting them to do that without alcohol.
AreThoseMyPants
It's very easy to talk to a Finn. Getting them to talk, that's the tricky bit.

Literally a repost from like a day ago. Wtf.

This is currently on the front page twice right now, in different formats. Lol

It was a repost one day ago as well

The math is wrong here but the joke is solid.

I don't think they would finn the joke very funny. (The word Finn comes from the Scandinaviand word for find so...)

Might be thanks to the accompanying Steam sale
mantysaippua
or the fact that im finnish
Mournclaw
I'm finnish too but yeah, it definitely was the steam sale.
WhatDoesntKillYou
With margin of error of 1%, many countries fall into that category. Luckily, it's 1% of that country's population, not % of the world's...

Oh, I see you got your PhD in math, dr. Killjoke...
dagg3r
Yeah exactly.

You must be a real riot at parties.
pandalabcoat
Isn’t it 1% of the .09%? Not one whole percent +/-
DhruvPatel4
Yes
PatrikLilja
Yes, and the 1% is calculated and not assumed. And if the census is done right the errors should be evenly distributed.
Vectron
This is why it's important to know the difference between percent and percentage points.
YourMomIsEverything
Thank you, that's it.
razetherunner
and here we see how a small change in language can have a massive change in meaning, and why statistics are sketchy as shit.
PatrikLilja
Missunderstanding and missuse of margin of error doesn't make statistics sketchy.
razetherunner
no, but the ease with which results can be manipulated and misrepresented does. it’s always the human element that fucks things up.
PatrikLilja
That still doesn't make statistics sketchy. Rather the people using it. Nazis used gas, does that mean chemistry is bad, or the nazis?
