Re: Because distributions matter
The "greater than 100%" penetration stat reminded me of a similar stat back when pagers were still popular. The penetration of pagers stat figure was oddly high because the people who used them often had many pagers for different purposes. But there were vast numbers of people who never used or owned a pager at all. So the penetration stat was a bit misleading to the casual observer.
Re: Because distributions matter
Mhhf1ve,
Yes, exactly. Distributions matter a lot. If you go by strict means the average person has slightly less than one ovary and slightly less than one testicle.

Re: Because distributions matter
The mathematical mean can hide a lot of information. If Bill Gates walks into a bar the average net worth of everyone in the room goes up considerably.
I'd never heard of it put in terms of reproductive anatomy....

Re: Because distributions matter
Math *can* be used for anything, but there's a good reason why people say, "lies, damn lies, and statistics" -- because results can be presented to highlight or ignore parts of reality. And then some people can warp math completely to publish alternative facts....

Re: Because distributions matter
@mhhf1ve yes, you are right this days anything could be bend and twisted... but pure math based on the true formulas/unbias calculations is the other story...

Re: Because distributions matter
Ha! Don't put too much faith in "pure math" either -- unless you can explain the Banach-Tarski paradox to me!

Re: Because distributions matter
JohnBarnes, mhhf1ve - A valid, and important, criticism. My initial draft did have a paragraph discussing this exact issue with the research approach, but then I went off on a bit off a tangent, and I want to try and keep my posts relatively brief. But this is important, and should at least have been pointed out.
