Statistics Question - We're Baffled

[sweetpete1987]

I've been trying to find at Stats Forum on the internet with no joy, my colleagues and I are baffled some % analysis we're doing of our sales.

Quite happy to post here but does anyone know a more appropriate forum?

Cheers!

Did you do a Google search for "lies"?

:confused:
I have grown accustomed to reading uninformative posts, and have become good at understanding them, but I have no clue what that above statement means. Can you clarify?

Cheers,

Well said.

Sweet Pete, you're probably not going to find anything. Companies don't like to.... post their market research just out for free. Its stuff that takes work to gather, and I doubt anyone wants to share it. Feel free to post it here, if one of us is not wasted or stoned, he or she will probably reply.

42.7% of all stats are made up on the spot

Stats forum? I've never come across any. And I'm assuming that the type of stats you're looking for are only available through purchase. Free stats almost never provide the amount or type of info you need. But if you really want them, try government websites or research company websites (e.g., Boston Group). Or if you want them for free, or almost free, you'll have to do the research yourself.

Take care,
Snitch.
