...do you not understand? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don’t.
Imagine you’re trying to find out how many people eat peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast in the land of Jellonia.
You survey 2.500 people and discover that only 30% of them do. But you wish that number were higher. So, you conduct another survey in the land of Peanutbutteria, where 95% of people eat peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast.
You combine the two surveys and, wow! The overall percentage suddenly looks much higher!
Now tell me: is this an accurate way to measure how many people in Jellonia eat peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast?
