The problem:
A researcher was once criticized for falsifying data. Among his data were figures obtained from 7 groups of mice, with 20 individual mice in each group. These values were given for the percentage of successes in each group 53% 58%67% 46% 48% 67% 54%. What is wrong with these values?
The answer:
All percentages of success should be multiples of 5.
I dont understand why that is the case. Why do they have to be multiples of 5?
