A mathematician, a statistician, and an accountant are all up for the same job. The board asks each of them the same section, "What is 100 + 200?"
The mathematician replies, "300."
The statistician replies, "300, with 95 % certainty."
The accountant says in a hushed voice, "What do you want it to be?" He gets the job.
