He could be on pace for 80 goals with a statistical error at the moment. And it is more probable that he is on a 100- pace than 100+ pace.
You must have been one of the smart kids and gone to really good schools. They didnt teach standard deviation, or any other form of statistical analysis at my elementary school.

So, I'm guessing it has something to do with sample size, or maybe its quadratic equations. Where's Chruceg when you really need him?
