JungleBiker Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Never trust a poll that gives percentages with 2 decimal points. A percentage with no decimal points already implies an accuracy of 1 in a 100. One decimal point = one in a thousand. Two decimal points = one in ten thousand. So how can they suggest an accuracy of one in ten thousand when the sample size was less than ten thousand...!???? It shows they don't understand statistics, therefore they are not qualified to conduct polls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiko Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 6 hours ago, webfact said: In the latest poll, “Most Popular of the Year 2016”, conducted by Dusit Poll on a total of 5,694 people from all walks of life during December 10-29, 80.69% gave Gen Prayut as the most popular man of the year, followed by Toon Bodyslam, or Atiwara Kongmalai, the front man of Bodyslam, one of the most successful rock bands in Thailand. He received 10.12%votes. The third most popular man was Thai national football team manager Kiatisuk Senamuang or better known as Ziko. He got 9.19% votes. If you count up the 3 finalist in the poll you get 100% of the votes, which mean there were only 3 carefully chosen candidates.

It shows they don't understand statistics, therefore they are not qualified to conduct polls! This is complete nonsense I'm afraid, the decimal points relate to the percentages(numbers ranging from 0-100) of the votes cast, not sample size(in this case 5,694).. they could include 10 decimal points for percentage of votes won with only 10 voters and it would still be right, “Most Popular of the Year 2016”, conducted by Dusit Poll on a total of 5,694 people from all walks of life during December 10-29, 80.69% gave Gen Prayut as the most popular man of the year, followed by Toon Bodyslam, or Atiwara Kongmalai, the front man of Bodyslam, one of the most successful rock bands in Thailand.
