Statistics for Dummies


I knew that the recession was hitting people badly here in the States, but I didn't realise quite how badly.

This morning, I heard on the radio that pre-Christmas sales "fell by 400%". If this is true, people must not only have bought nothing whatsoever, but also returned three times as many products as they had bought in the same period last year.

Unless, that is, someone needs some help with their maths.
