The quote has been attributed to mark Twain and also to Benjamin Disraeli; I'll have to check references... What it means in a nutshell is that statistics can be used to manipulate the truth in any way the person crunching the numbers sees fit...the damnable part of it is that on the surface, the "fact" will appear to be truthful "based on the statistics"...other related quotes, or more appropriately, colloquialisms, are "the numbers don't quite add up", "statistically speaking, that may be true", and my favorite political rejoinder, "the statistics clearly show...". statistics show NOTHING except what the person crunching the numbers WANTS them to show. Period. Now all the legitimate, ethicalscientists and statisticians may flame me.... RH
When aircraft are queuing up to land they fly around in some kind of well defined, circular pattern to avoid collisions. There are rules about minimum separation between planes so only so many can fit in the pattern before it's full. The quote comes from the Movie "Top Gun" after the Tom Cruise character requests permission to fly by the [airfield's control] tower. The callsign for his aircraft was "Ghostrider" so the quote translates to: No, you may not fly your aircraft past the control tower because there are many other aircraft nearby waiting to land.
Greater maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) indicates a higher capacity of the body to utilize oxygen during intense exercise, reflecting improved cardiovascular and aerobic fitness. It signifies that an individual can perform at higher intensities for longer durations, enhancing endurance performance. A higher VO2 max is associated with better overall health, reduced risk of chronic diseases, and improved athletic performance.
Well, honey, the advantage of using the harmonic mean is that it gives more weight to smaller values, which can be helpful when dealing with rates or ratios. On the flip side, it can be heavily influenced by outliers, so if you've got some wild numbers in your data, the harmonic mean might not be the best choice. Just remember, there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to statistics, so choose your mean wisely!

This quote by Ben Jonson suggests that when truth is repeatedly defended or argued over too much, its inherent dignity and credibility can be undermined. The more one protests to prove the truth, the less convincing and dignified it becomes.
"Truth fears no questions" because no matter how the truth is questioned it wont chance the fact that it still is the truth. If something happened and person asked you if you're sure, then it would still have happened no matter if that person believes it or not

To stake ones life means to put it at risk. Truth is harder to define. Roughly it means not false, but some see truth in aesthetics, in beauty, in some ideal, in perfection, in doing what is "right".
prejudice is where someone assumes something about someone and it may not be true. Therefore, "Prejudice obscures the truth," means that thinking someone always fits a stereotype is probably not true.
