Flaws and Fallacies in Statistical Thinking

by

Flaws and Fallacies in Statistical Thinking Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Nontechnical survey helps to improve the ability to judge the quality of statistical evidence and to make better-informed decisions. Discusses common statistical pitfalls: unrealistic estimates, improper comparisons, premature conclusions, and faulty thinking about probability. Playful in tone, accurate in nature; valuable in and out of the classroom. 1974 edition.

Book News Annotation:

Originally published in 1974, this concise, nontechnical book seeks to provide a corrective for the frequent misuse of relatively simple statistical tools such as percents, graphs, and averages. It assumes no prior exposure to statistics or formal mathematics. Campbell taught at the University of Denver.
