Quote by: Chancellor  The article said "More than nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had premarital sex." Since only 38,000 people were interviewed, that means there were 36,100 people who had pre-marital sex. Since the article claims that 95 percent of Americans had pre-marital sex, they're saying that 36,100 people is 95 percent of Americans.
So, they lied. They didn't really mean 95 percent of Americans (and they knew they didn't mean that), they only meant 95 percent of the people they interviewed. Then they extrapolated and just ASSUMED that this result was true of the entire American population. |
No, the data shows clearly that indeed 95% of americans according to this scientifically conducted study have had pre-marital sex.
Now i understand conservatives have a problem with science, but it must be nipped in the bud, before it becomes more serious.
