budgets, crime analysis, medical issues, and sports reporting all
demand numbers. Now in its third edition, News & Numbers
focuses on how to evaluate statistical claims in science, health,
medicine, and politics. It does so by helping readers answer three
key questions about all scientific studies, polls, and other
statistical claims: "What can I believe?" "What does it mean?" and
"How can I explain it to others?"
Updated throughout, this long overdue third edition brings this
classic text up-to-date with the 21st century with a complete
updating of examples, case studies, and stories. The text
emphasises clear thinking and common sense approaches for
understanding, analyzing and explaining statistics, and terms
throughout the book are explained in easy-to-understand,
nontechnical language. Much new material has been added to ensure
the text maintains its pertinent approach to the subject,
including:
* A section on computer modelling
* Additional chapters on risks and 'missing numbers'
* Updated sections on health plans and insurance, including
updates on President Obama's health system overhaul & new
material on health care costs and quality
