A mathematician, an economist and a statstician had been working together on a major paper for over a year. Finally, the day came when they were to present their findings at a major conference. After the resounding success, the three of them decided to go duck hunting, in order to celebrate and relax.

After sending the dog out to flush out their prey, they see a target fly into the air.

The economist takes a shot "BLAM!"
-"Darn, a foot to the right."

The mathematician fires "BLAM!"
-"Darn, a foot to the left."

The statstician yells: "We got him!"

the variance of the joke ratings makes the confidence interval around the funniness of this joke pretty big:

There is a 95% chance that this joke was more than a 1/10 ;)

you'll need to perform a t-test to see if this joke is significantly funnier than the "standard" Brutuskend fare...
