Statistically Funny - Powerpoint Statistics by Don McMillan (remastered)
The Humorous Way Don McMillan Explains Statistical Fallacies and Manipulations
Don McMillan is a Canadian comedian and statistician who is known for his humorous and informative presentations on statistical fallacies and manipulations. He uses humor to make complex statistical concepts accessible to a wide audience and to help people understand how they can be used to mislead and manipulate.
One of McMillan's most famous examples is his "90% of the time, it works every time" joke. This joke is a reference to the statistical fallacy of over-fitting, which occurs when a model is fit too closely to a particular data set. McMillan uses this joke to illustrate how over-fitting can lead to misleading results.
McMillan also uses humor to highlight the importance of understanding the context of statistical data. For example, he tells the story of a study that found that people who ate chocolate were more likely to die from heart disease. The study was later found to be flawed because it did not take into account other factors, such as age and lifestyle. McMillan uses this story to illustrate the importance of considering all of the relevant factors when interpreting statistical data.
McMillan's humor is effective in making statistical concepts accessible and memorable. His presentations are a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about statistical fallacies and manipulations.
Here are some specific examples of McMillan's use of humor:
He uses puns and wordplay to make statistical concepts more memorable. For example, he refers to the "correlation does not equal causation" fallacy as the "correlation does not equal causation, but it does suggest you should date your cousin" fallacy.
He uses exaggeration and hyperbole to illustrate the absurdity of statistical fallacies. For example, he says that a study that found that people who ate chocolate were more likely to die from heart disease was so flawed that it found that people who ate chocolate were more likely to die from being hit by a falling chocolate bar.
He uses self-deprecating humor to make himself more relatable to the audience. For example, he admits that he is not a perfect statistician and that he has made his own mistakes in the past.
McMillan's use of humor is an effective way to make statistical concepts accessible and memorable. His presentations are a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about statistical fallacies and manipulations.

    Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, and Georg Ohm are in a car and they get pulled over. Heisenberg is the driver and the police officer asks him: “Do you know how fast you were going?” “No, but I know exactly where I am,” Heisenberg replies. The cop says: “You were doing 55 in a 35”. Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts: “Great! Now I am lost!” The police officer thinks this behavior is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says: “Do you know you have had a dead cat back there?” “We do now, asshole!” shouts Schrödinger. The police officer moves to arrest them. Ohm resists.

    Alternative ending of the electron joke: "Mr. Officer, either you lying about my speed or I cannot be here" Also: when we plug in the numbers then we will find out that if electron was speeding within a margin of error, then his position uncertainty would be on the order of way less than a size of a policeman. Provided it is a human-sized policeman. So he was faking the 'lost' part

    72% overlap which way? That 72% of those who understand physics have been to a bar? Or that 72% of all that have been to a bar understand physics? Those are, after all, two distinct and potentially radically different propositions.

    I actually got the Electron Joke. But then, I'm a nerd. Two bacteria walk into a bar. The bartender says "We don't serve bacteria in this bar!" One responds, "But we're staph!" A helium atom walks into a bar. The bartender refuses it service. The helium atom doesn't react. Schroedinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.
