what i learned about statistics...
 

if you miss the rabbit 50 yards to the left and 50 yards to the right, on the average it's dead :glugglug

have some real fun with statistics: look into quantum physics :Oh crap

i had to do 2 semesters of statistics at the university, all i remember is the post above

If you take one fuck up and multiply it by any number you can think of, the result can still be the same.

I have two kids in university. They better NOT be teaching them this bullshit or I want my money back.

Figures Lie And Liars Figure

Three left turns equal a right.

That's deep =)

I loved statistics 101

Standard deviations FTW

My favorite example of why MEDIAN figures are better indicators of actual income than MEAN figures--the Colombian Drug Lord Example. If you have a drug town and there's 1000 people that live there, if you use MEAN figures, the AVERAGE income of the town's inhabitants might be 50K. That's not accurate since 999 are dirt poor peasants and there's one big drug lord making a TON of cash. Using MEDIAN income, you get a more accurate view of what the true income and economic status of the town is.

i remember this very vaguely :winkwink:

Idiot on board. I won't even get started.

oh oh oh, on average you missed by 50 yards

My stepmother is a statistics and analysis professor. I'm gonna have to throw that one at her one day. :1orglaugh
