Subdeacon Joe Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 The threatd by FKCGG with the homage to the Twilight Zone title got me thinking. Averages ... and how they can lead to false conclusions. https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-force-discovered-the-flaw-of-averages.html
Ozark Huckleberry Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Reminds me of the story of what happened when the three mathematicians who went deer hunting and saw their buck. The first one took his shot. It went into a tree, about a foot high and three feet off to the left. The second one lined up and put his shot a foot low, two and a half feet off to the right. Third one laid his gun down, took out his skinning knife, yelled, “We got him!”
