The law of averages

Statistics - interesting and insightful, or meaningless? (See what I did there?)

1 in 5 people in the word are Chinese.


Look around you. See 4 people that are not Chinese? Must be you, then.

On average, people have 1.999 legs.


Hurrah, I'm above average in the leg department!

16 percent of all traffic accidents are caused by drunk drivers.


That means 84 percent are caused by sober drivers. Should we lock them up instead?
