In a Management school during a statistics lesson:
University Teacher
let's say we have a 100 articles and sell 30... what percentage have we sold?
Anomalous manager
30%
University Teacher
wrong! instead of guessing, do like your classmates are doing and work it out!
Anomalous manager
excuse me, but why is it wrong?
University Teacher
Look, I refuse to answer you!
Ignor
really concentrated trying to workout this difficult calculation with his calculator.
Manager
he's very busy making calculations
Manager
30,4%
University Teacher
Nearly ,we're getting closer!
Ignor
31,27%
University Teacher
Exactly! when calculating percentages, always use the decimal point with two numbers after it
Ignor
ehm... yes indeed, that's why I said that number, not because it was displayed on my calculator
Anomalous manager
what's the point??
University Teacher
when we hear a percentage without the decimal point, we consider it less accurate. Instead 30,34% sounds like it comes from a more intricate calculation
Anomalous manager
Excuse me, but it seems that you think people are totally stupid!
University Teacher
indeed... did you know that this roof is very weak and there is a 40% probability that it could fall...
Anomalous manager
what's that got to do with all this
University Teacher
I mean 39,17%
Ignor
did you hear that complicated number... the roof is going to fall! Heeeelp!!!
University Teacher
as you can see!
Anomalous manager
I can't believe it! All you had to say was, that there is a 39,17% probability that the roof could fall...
University Teacher
what?! 39,17%??
University Teacher
EVERYBODY OUT!!!
