    Yes, early 40s is significantly different from late 70s.

      I meant statistically significant. Like in “how much chance is there that this difference was due to randomness ?”. There is statistcal tests for that.

        Afaik, there are only two dead Boeing whistle blowers, so you can’t form any sort of actually meaningful statistics on their life expectancy due to the small sample size. However it’s enough to say “that looks very suspicious and I think these ‘suicides’ should be investigated as murders”, and I think the meme is just meant to draw attention to that.

          Yeah this wasn’t exactly a scientific endeavor on my part.

        Seriously !? Why is it so weird that I make a statistical joke on a meme that makes fun of statistics XD

          Didn’t see this till I posted the other reply. I’d say your first one looks enough like a joke, but the second followup makes it look like you’re serious.

        I mean, since the sample size is rather small, it’s not really possible to do a reliable statistical analysis on Boeing whistleblowers,.

        As a straight percentage, however, they DO suddenly die in their early 40s much more often than the general population, so might not be total happenstance 🤷
