The Little Book About Numbers for People Who Would Really Rather Not Have to Read About Numbers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780955684845)

Does the sight of numbers and statistics induce something akin to mild panic? But at the same time do you wish it didn't? Are you tired of sensationalised headlines and want to understand them better? Are you all too aware that some people will use numbers in a misleading way? Then this little book will help you to spot when that is happening, and to determine what they are trying to achieve. Or perhaps you are a student about to embark on a stats or quants module? Then this little book is also for you. With the help of Cecil and Jemimah (cheetahs), Dennis and George (donkeys) and a few of their friends we learn about percentages and means and averages. Things do get more complicated with chi-squares, t tests and the like, but you don't have to go there if you don't want to! Concepts are explained by the animals in a fun way, and if there is no need for you to understand a particular concept, then that is made clear.
