Well percentage is they way to go. And since the numbers is not 100% accurate the difference falls easily within the error margin. In medicine you can have a 95% certainty on some test so in this type case it is not far off.

The reality can be over double and under double but the margins clearly predicts that the double mark is statistically good.

In this kind of predictions +/- 15% is acceptable so it is nearly.

Working on market reseach so it is fun to spin with number. It is a way to lie without actualy lying.

 

error margin wouldt be nearly 100k. hate to break it to you. oh and the OP probablly wasnt sitting there going "hmmm... if ioi was 15% off of his 360 numbers blah bl;ah blah blah"

 

Error margins are never done in other numbers then percentage. I am only saying that in the world of statistic errors, cause the numbers are not accurate, his assumption of sales being double is accurate since it is within the interval of what is statistically acceptable error.

This is just a definition in the world of calculation errors and in that world he is not wrong.

So based on that the numbers are a prediction  the word double is totally right. But it is still a spin.
