'Fascinating . . . timely' Daily Mail '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.
