@carnage4life Technically correct statement.

It is glorious in all its accuracy.

@carnage4life And THIS is why we use median, not mean!

@carnage4life
“average US president charged with 2 felonies” factoid actualy just statistical error. average US president charged with 0 felonies. Felonies Don is an outlier adn should not have been counted

@carnage4life don't be so mean!

@carnage4life Those are rookie numbers. @VerminSupreme could raise that average.

@carnage4life Soon additional data on your charts:

- # of convictions (pp)
- # of pardoned convictions (pp)
- # of sélf pardoned convictions (pp)

(pp: per president)

@carnage4life Bill Gates walks into a bar. Everyone else in the bar is a multimillionaire.*

*on average

@carnage4life

I used to teach statistics to college undergrads. I wish I still did because this graph. Just. 🫢

@carnage4life

I see what you did there.

:-)

@carnage4life @fsinn Perfect.

@carnage4life "Felonies Georg, who lives on a golf course & commits over 91 each term, is an outlier and should not have been counted"

@carnage4life Statistics!!

@carnage4life If it weren't for a pardon, Nixon would have though too right?

(noting, I'm from Aus, so my US history isn't great - and this is by no means defending the crimes of the haircut with the red hat)

@carnage4life I'm a bit surprised there were no other indicted presidents.

@carnage4life

#AltText: Image of a bar graph with numbers representing US Presidents along the x-axis and increments of 10 representing numbers of felony indictments along the y-axis. 45 on the x-axis has 91, color-coded with the indictment buckets and showing the numbers of indictments in each bucket.

@carnage4life obligatory Spiders Georg reference

@carnage4life @phoefer This is funnier than it should 🫣

@carnage4life As it turns out, President Crimes McGee was an outlier and should not have been counted in the total 😉

@carnage4life @kennyhoeschen Statistics don’t lie! 😂

@carnage4life

🤣

lies

damned lies

and statistics

@carnage4life @Randy_Au
hashtag sTaTiStiCs

@carnage4life so one bad apple ruined the whole barrel.

@carnage4life ah, but what is the mean, and what does that mean mean? 🤔😇

@carnage4life shouldn't there be a little spike at Nixon?

@carnage4life Definitely needs a horizontal “mean” dotted red line … :-)

@carnage4life the more precise average is 1.978 at this time.

@carnage4life Oh no! This is starting to look bad. Can I see a trendline on that data?

@carnage4life@mas.to reasons why mean/average is such an annoying default statistic to use.

@carnage4life damn, talk about Crimes Georg (I can explain the meme if you're not familiar with it, I'm not sure how well it's known outside of Tumblr)

@carnage4life felonies georg, who lives in florida…

@carnage4life This is how statistics and average works.
It reminds me joke about Bill Gates goes into bar and average income of all bar visitors increases for 1000 times.

@carnage4life
I think I see a trend. Let's calculate the slope of that line.

@carnage4life beautiful!

@carnage4life

That's awfully nice, but when do you get to the trials?

@carnage4life Fake News don't lie it's only 1.97826 felony charges per president

@carnage4life 🤣🤣🤣

@carnage4life
It's just math 🙂

@carnage4life …but not if you ignore “(out)LIARS” ;-)

@carnage4life that's a really funny graph lol

@carnage4life what a wonderful concept "avarage" is ... :mastorofl:

@carnage4life ::spit take:: Brilliant. :)

@carnage4life the numbers don't lie

@carnage4life actual average is 0 Racism Donal who lives in a fantasy world and steals money is an outlier and should not be counted

@carnage4life 🔥🔥🔥

@carnage4life
“average president has 2 indictments" factoid actually just statistical error. average president has 0 indictments. Indictments Trump, who lives in subpar resort & has over 90 indictments, is an outlier and should not have been counted

@carnage4life not quite…. On average, US presidents have been charged with around two felonies each. If you talk about average US presidents, you are implying exclusion of the great US presidents from your analysis

@carnage4life

When statistics are nobody's friend. 😆

@carnage4life I'm not sure which is more amusing, the misuse of averages, or counting only charged indictments to make it look like all past presidents were saints. Bravo! ;)

@carnage4life Felonies Georg is an outlier and shouldn't be counted.

@carnage4life Why is everyone always so mean to US presidents? All they want to do is have immense power and kill shitloads of people, give them a break ffs.

@carnage4life

Yes, but the median president has been charged with 0 felonies.

@carnage4life felonies georg.

@carnage4life does Cleveland count twice?

@carnage4life The median US President still has 0 felonies, though. #medianIsTheBetterAverage

@carnage4life @bloor Bigliest President!

@carnage4life politicians can be such crooks. LOL...not lol.

@carnage4life This factoid actualy just statistical error. Felonies Georg, who lives in cave & commits over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

@carnage4life Sadly, there are many who will look at this and say, "See, I told you it was a witch hunt."

@carnage4life
So you're saying Trump is above average!

@carnage4life however, the distribution is bimodal….

@carnage4life
Something tells me you're familiar with Mark Twain's views on statistics.

@carnage4life Indictments Trump is an outlier and should not have been counted

@carnage4life and donald trump is very average

@carnage4life loooooool

@carnage4life I think you need to draw the line y=2, to give context to your statement. 🤭

@carnage4life @codinghorror …so far.

@carnage4life the average U.S. president should've been charged with crimes against humanity and crimes of war

https://yewtu.be/5BXtgq0Nhsc

@carnage4life 😂😂😂 Amazing

@carnage4life Average is doing some heavy lifting there.

@carnage4life I never trusted Benjamin Harrison

@carnage4life Data science for the win.

@carnage4life@mas.to

Don't post stuff like this: MAGAts are likely see these kind of things and say "see: the average President is charged. with more than one felony, Trump just has more".

@carnage4life 😂😂😂

@carnage4life Reminds me of the old joke about Wilt Chamberlain and Al Attles combining for 117 points.

@carnage4life holy... when you put it like this... 👀

@carnage4life

LOL.

@carnage4life Hah! Thanks for my genuine LOL of the day. The neighbors heard that one.

@carnage4life

Prosecutor: Did you wipe the server?
Clinton: With a cloth?

@carnage4life As my son pointed out, this is inarguably one of the all-time greatest data visualizations.

@carnage4life this is amazing!

@carnage4life soon I wonder if Faux Noise, PropagandaMAX or any of the others have thought of this yet?

@carnage4life
So what you're saying is 45 has been charged with 45 times the average. Seems to be some poetic justice there. ;-)

@carnage4life
"Felonious Trumpe" is way too good of a name for him.

@carnage4life @JoshuaHolland Sounds like the NY Times!
