Introduction of works
Help you see the truth behind the numbers, not be bombarded with information
I use statistical thinking to eat, take medicine, see a doctor, read a newspaper,
Improve your "number Sense"
We often encounter a large number of statistics, such as proportion, prevalence, risk value, etc. A large number of numbers, explicit or implicit, can distort the truth through misreading or misuse, and "statistical awareness" is necessary to understand them and make sound judgments.
This book helps readers understand 22 common mistakes and tricks in numbers that occur in a wide range of contexts, from speed and importance to accuracy and ranking. This book will show you how the process of collecting and presenting various numbers can go wrong, leading to misleading perceptions such as "screen time before bed is dead," and what guidelines to follow in charge of credible statistics.
