For my former stat students, this should answer lots of your questions. Soft focus just to make it more fun.

I can recommend a good shrink. Or just give you a couple of ultra-extra strength Tylenol for the head ache from doing that.

It looks like a multi generation family tree of some European royal family.

I agree.

Looks simple to me???

Soft hocus makes so fun I can hardly read it. I DO agree that you may need to “talk to someone”. Ha! Just kidding.

Oops! Soft focus!

Studies show that people who spend time on these problems, do not know how to change a tire, check the oil in their car, or unclog a toilet.

rplain1 Loc: Dayton, Oh.

Can you give me the statistics on that?

Other studies show the people who spend time disparaging the intellect and academic accomplishments of others, are sorely lacking in those qualities themselves.

That’s because it’s easy to find someone who can take care of those mundane tasks. Try finding someone who can help with this chart🤪

I have people to do those mundane activities. I’d be glad to change a tire but the last time I tried, some idiot at the garage had torqued the wheel lugs to several hundred pounds and my spanner was useless so I ended up calling AAA.

WTF!?

I missed a couple of days in third grade when the teacher covered some fundamentals of math and I’ve struggled with it all my life!

That's all so obvious. What's the point? (:>)

The text for my introductory statistics course back when was "How to Lie With Statistics" and should be mandatory to this day in 7th grade algebra courses so students will learn while still capable of learning the skills of critical thinking.

I had attended many seminars and classes with the great portrait photographer, Monte Zucker (RIP). He was always stating statistics that 92% of this, or 98.5% of that. Someone finally asked him "Where did you get that statistic?" His response, "I just said it. Who's going to check it out!?"

That is better than the time I let the high school auto shop use my car to teach oil changing and tire rotation and balancing then on the way home on a freeway interchange my car started doing the hula. Pulled over and found that the lug nuts were not even completely finger tight and one front tire now had 4 lug nuts gone and was about to come off. I got out my lug wrench(spanner to some) and tightened all the lug nuts, jacked up the one coming off and tightened the nuts, taking one nut from each of the other three tires so all four now had one nut missing. Drove to the nearest auto parts store, bought some more lug nuts and paid them to use a power wrench to tighten everything up.
The next day the auto shop teacher (he was also a reserve cop and Marine) was not happy with his 12th Grade "Advanced" students who had done the work. Strange, no one remembered who had "tightened" my lug nuts. But one of the kids was flunking my history class and his best buddy was a total ditz.
Oh, other than that time with my car a good half of the faculty had their minor servicing done by the auto shop. Faculty paid for parts etc, saved money, the students got more practice and usually everyone was happy. That teacher had friends all over LA who would hire kids on his recommendation to work in their service stations and auto shops. Most of them really knew their stuff when they finished his classes.
