About 70% of people are influenced by the opinion of the majority, and only 30% have their own opinion.
The claim that 'about 70% of people are influenced by the opinion of the majority' lacks direct evidence from authoritative studies specifically confirming the percentage, although majority influence is a well-accepted phenomenon in social psychology. The concept is supported by empirical studies like Asch's experiments which demonstrate conformity but do not specify the percentage of influence. The second claim that 'only 30% of people have their own opinion' also lacks quantifiable evidence. General discussions on independent opinions fail to provide specific numbers related to the claim. Both claims are too generalized, and the available evidence from academic and reputable sources does not confirm the specified percentages.

The evidence provides general support for majority influence as a concept in social psychology, such as Asch's conformity experiments. However, there is no specific evidence directly confirming the exact percentage of 70%. Therefore, while the phenomenon is valid, the statistical claim lacks direct support.

Only 30% of people have their own opinion.
There is no direct evidence to validate the claim that only 30% of people have independent opinions. The concept of independent opinion is discussed widely in diverse contexts like auditing and politics, but these do not relate to the specific claim. Thus, the statistical aspect of this claim remains unsupported by concrete data.
