A physicist, a chemist, and a statistician are walking down a hallway...

when they notice with alarm that a fire has broken out in a nearby lab.

The physicist immediately shouts "I know what to do! We must cool down the mate­ri­als until their tem­per­a­ture is lower than the igni­tion tem­per­a­ture and then the fire will go out."

The chemist then cries "No! No! I know what to do! We must cut off the sup­ply of oxy­gen so that the fire will go out due to lack of one of the reactants."

The statistician looks around, thinks for a minute, then sets the rest of the building on fire.

The physicist and the chemist look on in horror and yell, "what are you doing?!"

The statistician replies "getting a bigger sample size".
