    Three statisticians go hunting...

    and a deer comes along. The first statistician shoots at it, but misses by a foot to the left. The second statistician shoots at it also, but misses it by a foot to the right.

    The third statistician shouts "I GOT IT!!"


    :D




    please don't ban me...:(

    With that in mind...


    Three professors (a physicist, a chemist, and a statistician) are called in to see their dean. Just as they arrive the dean is called out of his office, leaving the three professors there. The professors see with alarm that there is a fire in the wastebasket.

    The physicist says, "I know what to do! We must cool down the materials until their temperature is lower than the ignition temperature and then the fire will go out."

    The chemist says, "No! No! I know what to do! We must cut off the supply of oxygen so that the fire will go out due to lack of one of the reactants."

    While the physicist and chemist debate what course to take, they both are alarmed to see the statistician running around the room starting other fires. They both scream, "What are you doing?"

    To which the statistician replies, "Trying to get an adequate sample size."

    well i THINK it means that, only one in three will get the joke, but its not really a joke, because its just seeing if it can confuse ppl, so it sees if the one in three will understand it... or something like that... i dunno...

    WAH

    no no no!!


    its funny because they're statisticians! if one bullet goes too far left, and another too far right, then it averages out as having hit the moose!!


    geddit!?:D

    awww.... i prefer my version, and it makes me feel smart....

    HOWEVER!
    The third guy didn't shoot yet though... say if he shot, say 3 feet to the right, the actually average would be, hmm, 1 foot to the right? is it?

    but anyway....

    i feel stupid.... stupid like fox...
