[QUOTE="Mike Thornton, post: 4791737, member: 105289"]I think you've made a basic math error. You assume that only 75% of the population have heard about coin news. "0.75 * 328.2 million = 246.15 million. [B]Number of people who've heard about coins on the news- 246.15 million."[/B] Then you assume that only 30% really care. "0.30 * 328.2 million = 98.46 million. [B]Number of people who really cared about the coin-related news- 98.6 million."[/B] So, why did you go back to the original population number and recount those that you already stated didn't hear about coin news? They don't know or care, as you stated. Wouldn't the correct calculation be 30% of the 75%? or 73.845 million. And so on. Then only 20% found something and remained interested brings the population to 14.769 million. If only 15% become moderately seriously the population becomes 2.215 million. Or am I out of my mind? Could be!! lol[/QUOTE]
