I'm not good at math, but people keep passing this chart around in reddit-logo

But I keep seeing people in the comments debating whether this is actually "impossible" or not, using stats terms I'm not familiar with. Also idk the source of this graph so maybe it's bs.

I worked in government contracting as my first job out of college and the guy who sat I next to in the cubical worked on curating reports for various gov agencies. They would often come back to him and tell him that they number weren't right and it should be more like 'X'. He would then just change the numbers and send it back because he didn't give a fuck.
