Jesus LOL. I already told you how accurate a poll with that sample size is likely to be.

If you don't understand, just say so bro. This is a safe space. I took a statistics class, once, three years ago. I guess I'm lucky to remember a little bit, but it's totally reasonable for you to completely have no understanding of these concepts at all and yet keep posting about it.

Did you pass?
 
Lol

You can either keep your mouth shut and everyone will assume that you don’t understand basic statistics.

Or

You can open your mouth and confirm everyone’s suspicion.

Clearly, some of you have never taken like a basic high or college school statistics class. Some of you don’t understand how polling is done. @Safetydan has done a pretty good job summarizing how polling is done and it’s accuracy. Just because it shows data you disagree with doesn’t mean it’s an inaccurate poll. Just because you don’t understand basic statistics doesn’t mean you can’t learn it.

Do you doubt the efficacy of medicine that passes trials? Or do we need to test it on every single person before we believe it works?

YES! I doubt very much the efficacy of a large amount of our medications on the market. I’m going to post about it in that science thread, or whatever it was, but it’s taken a week or more thus far.

Haha I actually hesitated to use a pharmaceutical comparison, but the point stands. You wouldn't have a standard of requiring every patient take a particular drug before you understood whether it works, just a necessarily large sample size.
