Almost Quotes
There are a number of statistics to indicate that about half of the world's population has yet to make their first phone call, ... And our investment thesis is that over time, almost all of those users who make that first phone call will do so over a wireless phone. Nokia (NOK) indicated yesterday that there are about 520 million wireless subscribers today, and that number is expected to top a billion in 2002. We think it could top a billion and a half by 2004.

Behind Quotes
With home theater and media centers, there has been such an electronics boom within the last five years. But we're lacking behind in technology.

We're starting to educate builders and residents.

Added Quotes
Usage statistics are a leading indicator of our business growth. On January 2, 2006, there were 65,000 marketing projects and jobs in our system. On March 31, there were 83,000 marketing projects and jobs. Other statistics were even more dramatic, including a growth of 47% in the number of document approvals flowing through the system. Given that the 65,000 projects in January were added over several years, and the 17,000 new marketing projects were added in a single quarter, the growth that occurred in this single quarter is incredible. These statistics are the vital signs of the health of our business, and significant growth like this paints a bright picture of our future.

Bus Quotes
Every school district has training in place for bus drivers. Every school district has guidelines for safety on buses. The coaches take care of the kids, and the drivers take care of the road. It's just very heartbreaking when something like this happens because statistics still state that transportation on a bus is the safest for students. Our hearts go out to their families.

Games Quotes
There's some people up here who are a little upset that he's not going to Penn State. He's only going to get bigger, stronger, and faster.

Changed Quotes
The whole psychology of the market has changed since the U.S. unemployment figures on Friday. All the U.S. economic statistics in May have been weaker than expected so now people think the interest rate rises since last June are really starting to work and the Fed may not even raise rates when it meets on June 28.

Along Quotes
The spending philosophy of those consumers who 'live for today' is no surprise in light of soaring debt statistics nationwide. What is surprising are the types of people who actually live this big spending philosophy. While the strongly agreed/agreed response was spread fairly evenly over 18 to 54 year-olds, there was a definite division along income lines.

Australia Quotes
Normal statistics are like photographs. They can tell us only that X percentage have a problem. They can't tell us whether those problems are short term or long term, ... HILDA enables us to get a far better understanding of things and the news is good. HILDA tells us the number of people in Australia who are truly disadvantaged is small and many of them can be helped.

Chinese Quotes
This is going to take a lot of teacher training. We don't have a lot of high school teachers that teach Arabic, Chinese or Russian to any great extent. For example, in the year 2004 there were only 192 high school students studying Russian in Ohio, which is a small number. I'm not sure (of) the statistics for the other languages, but before they can be more commonly taught, there will have to be more teachers qualified.

Activity Quotes
It is rare to have two consecutive years with such a strong simultaneous combination of high amounts of major hurricane activity together with especially favorable steering flow currents. The historical records and the laws of statistics indicate that the probability of seeing another two consecutive hurricane seasons like 2004-2005 is very low.

Among Quotes
Data analysis serves as a process that underpins scientific inquiry. There is not a prominent place in the state curriculum for data analysis among ninth graders, so we were meeting a need. Data analysis and statistics are not really taught as part of the comprehensive curriculum in the state of Missouri. We wanted to give the kids a chance to work with statistics. Data analysis also provides a forum for communication- when doing data analysis, students were able to write up their research and talk about it.
