Stats is excellent!
So as I was doing some review for my motor learning exam, I was reading through the class discussion board and came across a really good post! Motor learning has many aspects of stats incorporated into it. I really enjoy stats! I think stats is a fantastic subject and I wish I could take more stats courses! Maybe I'm the only one, who knows, I just know that most people are not very fond of that course at all. So anyway, a classmate posted some stats jokes which I found to be quite entertaining! I thought I would share a couple of them with whoever might actually read this thing!
================
Three statisticians go deer hunting, and as they're going through the
forest they discover a magnificent buck standing in a clearing. The
first statistician aims and fires, but his shot goes just to the right
of the deer. It hasn't moved, so the second statistician aims and fires,
but his shot goes just to the left of the deer this time.
So the third statistician jumps out of the blind and shouts "We got him!
We got him!"
====
A stats major was completely out of it the day of his final exam. It was
a True/False test, so he decided to flip a coin for the answers. The
stats professor watched the student the entire two hours as he was
flipping the coin...writing the answer...flipping the coin...writing the
answer. At the end of the two hours, everyone else had left the final
except for the one student. The professor walks up to his desk and
interrupts the student, saying: "Listen, I have seen that you did not
study for this statistics test, you didn't even open the exam. If you
are just flipping a coin for your answer, what is taking you so long?
The student replies bitterly (as he is still flipping the coin): " Shhh!
I am checking my answers!"
====
A famous statistician would never travel by airplane, because he had
studied air travel and estimated the probability of there being a bomb
on any given flight was 1 in a million, and he was not prepared to
accept these odds. One day a colleague met him at a conference far from
home. "How did you get here, by train?" "No, I flew" "What about your
the possibiltiy of a bomb?" Well, I began thinking that if the odds of
one bomb are 1:million, then the odds of TWO bombs are (1/1,000,000) x
(1/1,000,000). This is a very, very small probability, which I can
accept. So, now I bring my own bomb along!"
====
It is proven that the celebration of birthdays is healthy. Statistics
show that those people who celebrate the most birthdays become the oldest.
================
And just for the update, I have 1 more day of class (3 hours worth of lectures), 1 paper due Monday (which is done in rough and just needs revising), 2 final exams and 15 routines to go!
