[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure that “somewhat safe” is a ringing endorsement…[/quote] NP. According to the graph, that 70% is composed of 29% who feel "very safe" and 48% who feel "somewhat safe." So, less than 1/3 actually feel "safe" in their neighborhoods. Hard to know how respondents interpreted "somewhat safe." The other categories are "not too safe" at 15%, and "not safe at all" at 8%. If you add those two up, you get 23% who feel "not too" or "not al all" safe. That's not a whole lot lower than the 29% who feel safe. In fact, with a margin of error of 4.5 percentage points, they could be the same number.[/quote] Wow. This is really eye-opening. So in other words, the Post article is exhibit A of how to lie with statistics.[/quote]
