About the book

"Everyday we are bombarded with statistics tailored to influence opinions, sell pain relievers, or win votes. John Phillips's How to Think about Statistics is the best guide available for you to make sense of the numbers encountered in the media, at work, or at school.". "Avoiding arcane mathematics and dull computation, Phillips explores the underlying logic of data analysis, explaining basic statistical concepts step by step to show how the numbers are gathered, organized, tested, interpreted - and in some cases, manipulated and misapplied. Concise, accessible, and engaging as always, the new edition has been thoroughly revised and now draws on a broader range of current examples from psychology, politics, business, education, medicine, advertising, sports, and other areas."--BOOK JACKET.
