In this age of big data, a basic grasp of statistical literacy is more important than ever if we want to separate the fact from the fiction, the ostentatious embellishments from the raw evidence amp;mdash; and even more so if we hope to participate in the future, rather than being simple bystanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Statistics\u003c\/i\u003e, world-renowned statistician David Spiegelhalter shows listeners how to derive knowledge from raw data by focusing on the concepts and connections behind the math. Drawing on real world examples to introduce complex issues, he shows us how statistics can help us determine the luckiest passenger on the Titanic, whether a notorious serial killer could have been caught earlier, and if screening for ovarian cancer is beneficial. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Statistics\u003c\/i\u003e not only shows us how mathematicians have used statistical science to solve these problems amp;mdash; it teaches us how we, too, can think like statisticians. We learn how to clarify our questions, assumptions, and expectations when approaching a problem, and amp;mdash; perhaps even more importantly amp;mdash; we learn how to responsibly interpret the answers we receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining the incomparable insight of an expert with the playful enthusiasm of an aficionado, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Statistics\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive guide to stats that every modern person needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098337001712,"sku":"2940170265428","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170265428_p0.jpg?v=1763794639","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170265428","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
