242 what is the Fulano de Tal statistic?

To begin with, Fulano de Tal is not a real person.

However, if there were a Fulano de Tal statistic and I needed a brief explanation of it, I would use these Google keywords:

site:.edu "Fulano de Tal" statistics

The first bit site: is a Google operator that restricts searches to a particular site or kind of website, in this case, to colleges and universities. (Be sure not to inject any spaces between the operator and operand.) This combination will help you find find other instructors' web pages, usually better for our purposes than unfiltered Google results. Somewhere an instructor posted just what you need to understand about Box-Cox, Kaplan-Meier, whatever.

Fulano de Tal is in quotes so that it won't be broken apart by the search engine. And statistics may be superfluous, but who knows? Maybe Fulano de Tal did work in a variety of fields.
