Statisticians May or May Not Happen

statisticians be like Probability mass function PMF yeah this may or may not happen P(X ≤ k) ≈ Φ((k − np) / √np(1 − p))

A collage shows statistical graphs, a normal distribution, a probability mass function, and a probability formula beneath the captions “statisticians be like,” “yeah this,” and “may or may not happen.” The joke is that statisticians can calculate probabilities precisely while still admitting that an event may or may not occur, making fun of statistical uncertainty and overly cautious conclusions.
