HG Wells once commented that: ‘Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write.’ In an age in which we are constantly confronted with a perplexing range of statistical claims on almost every topic imaginable, that time has come. Using real world examples, this interactive course will introduce even the most mathematically timid to a handy repertoire of strategies for handling statistical claims, and recognising when they are being sensationalised.
