Stories of Statistics
We will take a brief walk through the history of statistics, occasionally stopping off the path to take a look at some of the colorful characters who have contributed to this field. Also, along the way we will consider questions such as: How much longer should you expect to live? What do you mean by “average”? What do actuaries do? What is a p-value, what is a double-blind study, and why are these important?
