This. And actually even high school maths studied decently should be enough to tell that "120% lower chance" was utter crap, it would be in every case in which a quantity can't be negative, not just statistics.

Even if the quantity can be negative, you wouldn't use the phrase "120% lower" or equivalents. If someone is reversing at 20 km/h, and another is going forwards at 100 km/h, you wouldn't say that the first person is going 120% slower.
