Probability and statistics impinge on the life of the average
person in a variety of ways - as is suggested by the title of this
book. Very often information is provided that is factually accurate
but intended to give a biased view. This book presents the
important results of probability and statistics without making
heavy mathematical demands on the reader. It should enable an
intelligent reader to properly assess statistical information and
to understand that the same information can be presented in
different ways.In this second edition the author presents a new
chapter exploring science and society including the way that
scientists communicate with the public on current topics, such as
global warming. The book also investigates pensions and pension
policy, and how they are influenced by changing actuarial tables.
