You’d have to compare the recent spate of suicides to the general historical rate of suicide among young, healthy, successful investment bankers to get a better picture.

Are you familiar with the gaussian distribution? or better still the concept of a distribution function?

Having had several graduate-level courses in statistics, yes, I am.

I don’t think the number of events we’re discussing here is sufficient for a Gaussian function to apply.

Connect dots.
