About this title

Synopsis

Every day we are bombarded by numbers about politics, economics, health and the environment. This concise introduction by the BBCâ€s first head of statistics helps clarify the data and decide whether it presents a true picture. It explains the difference between a mean and a medium, correlation and causation, how to evaluate surveys and opinion polls, and the alarm-bell phrases to be wary of.
