Subject: Re: [Phys-l] innumeracy
I agree that knowing the correct population of your country or the world isNot sure what standards you would consider being wildly off, but 19/35 were
something a bit different from what I'd call 'numeracy." After just a
quick
glance at the values below it looks to me that more are in the ballpark
than
wildly off.
under 100 million for the U.S. (10/35 below 10 million) and 9/35 over a
billion. I consider all those to be wildly off! ;-)
