it’s just like the car crash statistic… ‘they’ say that car accidents occur within a 5 mile radius of the home. considering the majority of people work and/or commute within a 5 mile radius of their home, the statistic comes to no surprise.

Well, the point of the story was how mathematical reality is different from what most people intuitively infer.

Oh my goodness, what idiot would be amazed that people have a 50% chance of dying within half the year?
Just goes to show you how ignorant and mathematically incompetent folk are today. No wonder so many con artists take up scamming people for a living — there are a lot of fools out there…

Congratulations, you have just understood why you can never trust statistics!
Remember this next time you watch TV reports on what candidate you should vote for. Or when you read things on the internet.
