Just a small niggle, but, if an event is 4000% more likely than normal, it means the likelihood has increased by a factor of 41 times (not 4000 times). A 4000% increase translates to 41 times the original risk. Therefore, it is not accurate to say it is 4000 times the risk.
Math Explanation:
Baseline Likelihood: Assume the original likelihood of the event is
x.Increased Likelihood: A 4000% increase means the new likelihood is
x + 40x = 41x.Therefore, if an event is 4000% more likely, it translates to being 41 times the original risk, not 4000 times.
Easier explanation. A percentage in math is displayed as a decimal. 100% is 1.000. 90% is .90. 1% is .01. As a fraction 100% is 100/100= 1. 90% is 90/100=9/10. 1% is 1/100.
So 4000% is 40.000 or as a fraction 4000/100.
A percentage is basically a division operation.
Still an alarming statistic. We don’t even know how or if it will affect their fertility.
Math is raycist
Niggle please
😅👋🐸
I'll try to remember that. Math is NOT my best subject.
It was my worst, too! 🐸
