That was why I wrote 'assuming the title of the newspaper article is correct'.<BR/><BR/>Assuming that the numbers 60, 35, 3 and 1 all result from a similar question in the survey, the headline writer chose to interpret the 1% number as 'Believe those blogs? Only 1% find them credible'. Note that the title is not 'only 1% find them <I>most</I> credible'.<BR/><BR/><I>If</I> this is indeed a correct interpretation, then it's not unreasonable to say that 'only 55-60% of folks find newspaper credible', which is to say that 40-45% of folks find them not credible, which is like...well... almost half!<BR/><BR/>I'm more inclined to think that the more correct interpretation would be 'only 1% find them most credible', but we need to see what the question in the survey actually was. But it's fun to run with what you have...hehe...jeffyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711567697887623146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419019.post-1142655924030239062006-03-18T12:25:00.000+08:002006-03-18T12:25:00.000+08:00erm... 60% found it most credible rite? so meaning...erm... 60% found it most credible rite? so meaning the other 40% may not find it uncredible? just less credible?<BR/><BR/>anyway, who would belief a survey conducted by a newspaper that day they are most credible??Tai Yew Munhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290579324039963341noreply@blogger.com
