731 - Do you believe every statistic you see?

This morning the headlines read that Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of winter.

Many people will groan when they read that winter won’t be over for a while.

What they don’t know is that good ol’ Phil has an accuracy record of 39%.

I’m a positive person. The way I see it, Punxsutawney Phil just predicted Spring will come soon.

We’ve all seen how statistics can vary, depending on who is presenting the information.

Statistics can vary widely by eliminating one factor.

Depending on who is providing the statistics, the numbers can vary as we often see in politics, large corporations, and many other areas.

Punxsutawney Phil’s only agenda is to go back to bed. Can’t blame him...

You know the old saying, 79% of all statistics are made up on the spot!
