			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I&#8217;ve received news of another statistic study. It stated 2 percent of romanians wish to relocate in rural areas. The study was conducted on a &#8220;representative sample&#8221; of 1100 people.</p>
<p>I will not talk about romanians relocating to rural areas. It&#8217;s boring. I will talk about the concept of statistics and the changes that need to be taken to reach the next level.</p>
<p>The &#8220;representative sample&#8221; of 1100 people is no more than 0.005% of the total population. So &#8230; how could this sample be &#8220;representative&#8221;?</p>
<p>The answer lies in the phisical ability to conduct the study. There is only that much a company can do. Back in the day, when Statistics was born as a science there was no way anyone can theoritize the appearence of something like the internet, the impact it had or the fast spread it gained.</p>
<p>I grew up learning on the internet. I failed once the Statistics class, not being one of my favourites in college. However, what I did learn on the internet is that samples can be way larger than the standard 1000, data can be collected easier and faster than by just &#8220;asking for answers&#8221; and many others.</p>
<p>Statistics need an upgrade. Because now it&#8217;s more guesswork than science.</p>
