17/15ths of statistics are impossible

 

[Whiskers]

17/15ths of statistics are impossible

Given your past performance Mofra, I'm a bit loath to do this, fear of making a goose of myself... but is it that 17/15 = 1.13∞, is not a 'real' number and therefore in terms of statistics is impossible because 'A statistic is a function of one or more random variables that does not depend upon any unknown parameter.':couch
