Stats? Lies, damned lies, and statistics

misd-agin refers to Airline accident ratings

Now I've looked at that and the stats are calculated by

Code:
The Accident Rate is calculated as follows:

  Accident Rate = ((A *(B/C))-D)

Where:

A = number of million flights completed by the airline

B = adjusted fatal events for all airlines on list

C = number of million flights for all airlines on list

D = adjusted fatal events of the airline
So by this formula, having zero accidents (D) impairs your score. Having lots of takeoffs (A) worsens your score

It has no relation whatsoever to accident rates
