Cognitive Daily Goes Nuts

24 June, 2008 (03:30) | Food, Math

Do grocery stores give us the right mix of nuts?

Does anyone like Brazil nuts? Anyone?

Taking a look at the data from the other direction, we can ask another question. Is there anyone who likes Brazil nuts and doesn’t like any other nut? In other words, how many people might not find any nuts at all that they like if Brazil nuts were removed from the mix?

Brazil nuts concentrate barium and radium. In bulk they trigger Homeland Severity border check radiological this and that. Terrorist nuts threaten the Homeland!

I’m disappointed he stopped short of computing the correlation of the 3 comparisons he made.
