Description
A nontechnical book to help readers improve their ability to judge the quality of statistical evidence and make better-informed decisions. The author points out the hazards of statistical ignorance and illustrates some common pitfalls to the interpretation of statistical data, including unrealistic estimates and charts, improper comparisons and premature conclusions, and faulty thinking about probability and induction. Playful in tone but scrupulously accurate in nature, this text can serve as supplemental reading for a first course in statistics and as well as outside the classroom, as a guide for anyone wishing evaluate statistical evidence more judiciously. 1974 ed. 38 illustrations. 37 figures. 8 tables. Index.
