| Looking at the results, it looks like you're using two very different kinds of percentages - one of which is very misleading. With categories like "Most Likely to Have AIDS" and "Most Likely to Use Marijuana," the percentages clearly show the five states that have the highest percentages of their populations that have AIDS, or use marijuana, etc. But with categories like "Most Likely to Be Robbed," and "Most Likely to Serve in the Military," it looks like you've chosen the five states that have the highest numbers - without taking population into account. Which would mean the percentages we're shown for those categories don't represent the percentage of, say, Californians who get robbed, but rather the total percentage of robberies in America that take place in California. (I could be wrong, but I can't imagine that California has the highest robbery rate per capita.)
If you did all the categories that way, California would be at or near the top for almost all of them, just because of its extremely high population. |
