This is why the claim that "everyone dies" fails a standard statistical significance test.
It only fails if we consider 'everyone' to mean the human species. Some people achieve immortality, but that's a topic for another post :)

If you select a random person from the entire history of humanity, there's a greater than 5% chance that person has not died. So, the hypothesis that everyone dies fails the standard test.

What? I don't know how to say but what is your ground of that 5%.
You can't say it for the whole human race, the same 5% won't ever return.
