Orders of Magnitude

Today’s show in two parts. First, Linhda joins us to review the episodes from Data Skeptic: Pilot Season and give her feedback on each of the topics. Second, we introduce our new segment “Orders of Magnitude”. It’s a statistical game show in which participants must identify the true statistic hidden in a list of statistics which are off by at least an order of magnitude. Claudia and Vanessa join as our first contestants. Below are the sources of our questions. **Heights** - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willis_Tower - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station **Bird Statistics** - https://www.statista.com/statistics/198107/birds-in-the-united-states-since-2000/ - https://www.sibleyguides.com/conservation/causes-of-bird-mortality/ **Amounts of Data** Our statistics come from https://techjury.net/blog/how-much-data-is-created-every-day/#gref
