Dead men tell no tales...





As I was studying for my stats final, I noticed this little snippet off to the side of one of the textbook pages. I thought it was funny.

"A study of deaths in bar fights showed that in 90% of the cases, the person who died started the fight. You shouldn’t believe this. If you killed someone in a fight, what would you say when the police ask you who started the fight? After all, dead men tell no tales."

Ha.

This quote alone may improve my opinion of statistics.
