Help! I 'm suffering stats withdrawal!

How about these statistics?😉

Between 1984 and 1999, the number of defendants charged with a drug offense in Federal courts increased from 11,854 to 29,306.

65% of those charged during 1999 had previously been arrested; 28% had 5 or prior arrests. Half of those charged had previously been convicted; a third of a felony

16% of incarcerated drug offenders reported being an importer, grower, or manufacturer of illicit drugs; 25% reported that they distributed drugs to street-level dealers.
 
As long as I'm neffing here check out these thoughts on statistics and the new quote in my sig.🙂

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)

Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.
Fletcher Knebel

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
Rita Mae Brown

Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. (Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.)
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
 


<< Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics. Fletcher Knebel >>



LOL 🙂 This one is my favorite! 😀

Rita Mae Brown

For some reason, I find this one incredibly appropriate right now.

Congrats on Gold wirelessenabled and remember:

"Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."
Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)

<< Thank you for the complement. Actually, I have no life. I live on a very small, remote island, located a million miles away from civilization. I get paid .02 cents per hour to respond to worthless emails like yours. >>



Just neffing

hehe, here is an updated version of the one stats quote:

There are Five kinds of lies:
Lies
Damned Lies,
Statistics,
Politicians quoting statistics
and Novellists quoting Politicians on Statistics.
--Stephen K Tagg

And more statistics comments:

I always find that statistics are hard to swallow and impossible to digest. The only one I can remember is that if all the people who go to sleep in church were laid end to end they would be a lot more comfortable.
--Mrs. Robert A. Taft

Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.
--Aaron Levenstein

Old Statisticians never die -- they just get broken down by age and sex.
--Unknown

...while a man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician.
---Sherlock Holmes
