When Statistics Goes Horribly Wrong

When Statistics Goes Horribly Wrong

This meme brilliantly skewers how statistical averages can lead to hilariously misleading conclusions! When you calculate the mean across the entire human population (roughly 50% male, 50% female), you end up with these mathematically correct but utterly absurd anatomical "averages." It's the perfect example of how statistics without context is just mathematical mischief. The floating equations in the background perfectly capture that moment when you realize your technically correct calculation has led you to a biologically impossible conclusion. This is why statisticians always warn about the dangers of blindly applying means to bimodal distributions!
