The chemist shoots at the same deer and misses five feet to the right.

The statistician shouts, "We got him!"

Listen here, Einstein. You probably think that statisticians are good at math. But here's a secret for you, they love to use averages! The biologist and chemist missed the deer on either side, so the statistician jokes that "on average" they hit the deer, even though they totally whiffed. Get it? I'm sure you still don't.
