One started as a cop but got fired after allegedly assaulting a suspect. He fell back on being a prison guard, but didn’t last long there, either. Now he has a job with a freight railroad.

Another was lined up to inherit his dad’s business, but instead got into drug dealing and eventually murdered someone. Now he’s in prison for life.

Statistics are just numbers. What matters is how they are used. Anyone who has studied stats knows that it’s common to craft misleading conclusions from real data.
