'Refreshingly clear and engaging' Tim Harford 'Delightful . . .
full of unique insights' Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter There's no
getting away from statistics. We encounter them every day. We are
all users of statistics whether we like it or not. Do missed
appointments really cost the NHS GBP1bn per year? What's the
difference between the mean gender pay gap and the median gender
pay gap? How can we work out if a claim that we use 42 billion
single-use plastic straws per year in the UK is accurate? What did
the Vote Leave campaign's GBP350m bus really mean? How can we tell
if the headline 'Public pensions cost you GBP4,000 a year' is
correct? Does snow really cost the UK economy GBP1bn per day? But
how do we distinguish statistical fact from fiction? What can we do
to decide whether a number, claim or news story is accurate?
Without an understanding of data, we cannot truly understand what
is going on in the world around us. Written by Anthony Reuben, the
BBC's first head of statistics, Statistical is an accessible and
empowering guide to challenging the numbers all around us.
