How to Lie with Statistics
6.99 €
In this world-famous book, Darrell Huff talks about the various ways statistics are abused to deceive the audience and manipulate their opinions.
Every day, they try to influence you to buy some “right” product or choose the “right” candidate: “Thanks to the “Clean Teeth” toothpaste, the incidence of caries is reduced by 23%!”; “85% of citizens support Policy N”...

How can you understand how reliable this or that data is? How are the calculations made? What is taken into account and what remains behind the scenes? You will find answers to these and many other questions in this book.
