Statistics of the Year 2018: Winners announced | StatsLife
some interesting stats.
imagine this :
9.5: the percentage point reduction in worldwide ‘absolute poverty’ over the last ten years - meaning that the proportion of those living in this condition has more than halved since 2008. (sourced from the World Bank in 2018 and 2008).
The winner of the UK Statistic of 2018 is27.8%: the peak percentage of all electricity produced in the UK due to solar power on 30 June this year. This surprising figure reflects that fact that solar power was, while only briefly, the country’s number one electricity source - ahead of gas (sourced from Electric Insights).
40%: the percentage of Russian males who do not live to age 65 – the proposed state pension age for men (sourced from the Times, Independent, Guardianand theWorld Health Organization).
