Just doesn't add up

[edit]
For the Chinese population the numbers don't add up to anything close to 100% ( 81.2%). Aberdeen01 (talk) 04:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, the 34.8% for Buddhism should actually be 54.8% (following the graph; someone will have to back me up factually, although I think that is right). Coreydragon (talk) 02:20, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I thought at first (since proportionally that section of the pie chart does indeed look like "50% and a bit"), but it's not as simple as that. The sections as shown add up to 81.2%. If we turn 34.8 into 54.8, that makes the total 101.2%. Of course there's rounding error, but the max expected error from that is 0.25% (0.05% x 5), much smaller than the 1.2% error. Probably just a matter of a 20% typo combined with other less important errors, but, I tried referencing the cited source doc for clarification, and found that the link's not working. Oh well..

Most likely the 34.8% was supposed to be 53.48%. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.232.64 (talk) 15:11, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
