The Art of Statistical Thinking: Detect Misinformation, Understand the World Deeper, and Make Better Decisions
Book information
Description
Learn basic statistics and spend your money wisely. Statistics, as a learning tool, can be used or misused. Some will actively lie and mislead with statistics. More often, however, well-meaning people – even professionals - unintentionally report incorrect statistical conclusions. Knowing what errors and mistakes to look for will help you to be in a better position to evaluate the information you have been given. However, the book is not about how to think simply as a statistician when statistical values are seen. It is just a mini-guide for going through the motions of statistics as in training monkeys for making money and enjoying superficial expertise status.
