Description
Statistician William M. Briggs mentions that his Stats 101 book will be similar to How to Lie with Statistics.
I remember this book in the Beaverton branch of Powell's or the downtown (now defunct) Powell's Technical branch, circa 2000-2004.
Introduces the reader to the niceties of samples (random or stratified random), averages (mean, median or modal), errors (probable, standard or unintentional), graphs, indexes, and other tools of democratic persuasion.
