| Lies and Statistics Our analysis indicates that more than 99% of the country's population lives in the more than 99% of Zip Codes where a provider reports having at least one high-speed service subscriber Boy, talk about statistical doubletalk. 99% of people live in 99% of the zip codes in this country, what a surprise!

| Re: Lies and Statistics Actually, that's not statistical doubletalk so much as it is just a really crappy way of stating results.
The truth is, zip code has nothing to do with population, so it is possible to select, for example, 10% of US zip codes and the total population for those zip codes would total less than 10% of the US population. As you do select more zip codes, you will get more population, obviously. | |
