Statistical Joke of the Week
On Confidence Interval:
-
Three statisticians went deer hunting with bows and arrows.
They spot a big magnificent white-tail buck and take aim.
One shoots and his arrow flies off one foot to the right of
the stag.
The second shoots and his arrow flies off one foot
to the left.
Now all of sudden, the third statistician, who haven't shoot,
jumps up and down yelling
"We got him! We got him!"
On Conclusion of T.H.:
-
Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is
suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.
On T.H. on C.T.:
-
What do you call a tea party with more than 30 people?
A Z party!!!
(i.e., t-dist with n greater than or equal to 30 could be approximated into z-dist)
On One-sided T.H.:
-
A politician travelling to Scotland looked out of the
train window and saw a number of black sheep. "That's
interesting", he said, "all Scottish sheep are black".
"No, no", warned his agent. "Don't make positive
statements like that. Best just say 'Some Scottish
sheep are black'. Isn't that right, Jim?"
Jim, a statistician, replied "Well, on the evidence so far,
the only thing you can say is 'Some Scottish sheep
are black - on one side".
