The most interesting statistics in the world
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Full of interest! Full of wit! Full of content! Learn statistics through comics!
An exciting statistical journey with a cartoonist from Harvard University!
Is the P-value the price of an item sold at P-Mart?
In which country is the Bernoulli trial a type of system implemented?
Are mountain grapes wild grapes that grow in the mountains?
Examples of weather forecasts, report cards, and opinion polls that we encounter every day
Sampling, margin of error, hypothesis testing, etc., which you may have heard of at least once
How will daily verification affect daily life?
Larry Gonick, who presented a new horizon for world history with his sharp yet unbiased horizontal view of history in the 'World's Most Entertaining History' series.
This book is a revised edition of 『The World's Funniest Statistics (Cartoon Guide to Statistics)』, which was published by Gungri in 2007 by the author of [Physics], [Calculus], [Algebra], [Biology], [Genetics], [Chemistry], and [Earth Environment], which are part of the 'World's Funniest Science Cartoon Series'.
Larry Gonick, in collaboration with Wolcott Smith, a statistics professor at Temple University, has made statistics, which can be perceived as difficult and daunting, easy and interesting.
This book lacks the complexity and difficulty often associated with scientific books.
This is because, rather than explaining concepts of natural science that are far removed from everyday life, it scientifically explains stories from everyday life that people have likely experienced or been curious about at least once.
Natural phenomena that seemed unfamiliar and strange before reading this book will become familiar and natural the moment you close the last page.
In this way, the preconceived notion that science is somehow distant and specialized is completely blown away.

Publisher's Review
“In our daily lives, we are always exposed to statistics.
A child's report card includes the average score for each subject, so you can gauge the child's level, and on television, you can hear the weather forecaster predict the percentage of rain there will be tomorrow.
Also, when election time comes, various media and organizations frequently announce various opinion polls.
In this way, statistics are frequently used to judge various things closely related to our lives.
This is because statistics is a technique that effectively processes a huge amount of information and creates reliable, rational judgment criteria.
However, even though we seem familiar with statistics, we often do not know the exact meaning of terms like variance and reliability.
Moreover, if you go a little deeper, it feels very complicated and difficult.
This book explains the entire statistical process of collecting and summarizing data and drawing conclusions in an interesting and easy-to-understand way using various examples.
I hope this will be of great help to everyone who has had difficulty with statistics.” - From the translator’s note
Build scientific knowledge in daily life and satisfy intellectual curiosity and questions at the same time.
Discover the new world of statistics!
We often hear about tomorrow's weather forecast, opinion polls released here and there as election time approaches, and the accompanying margin of error, confidence level, data-based results, sample ratios, and other statistically-related topics.
In this way, statistics are frequently used to judge or decide on various matters closely related to our lives.
This is because statistics is a technique for effectively processing massive amounts of information and creating reliable, rational judgment criteria.
The mathematical magic of statistics, which quantifies uncertainty and makes it accurate, is based on data analysis, probability, and statistical inference.
As the first chapter points out, good data diagramming is both an art and a science.
The key to this data lies in collecting and analyzing raw data, which then reveals the specific patterns and forms hidden within the pile of numbers.
Next, in probability and statistical inference, the basic principles and methods used in statistics, such as standard deviation, sampling, sample size, and hypothesis testing, are explained using various formulas and diagrams.
This helps us understand the usefulness and role of statistics in various areas of our lives, including public opinion polls, market research, product testing, and the effectiveness of medicine.
The World's Most Entertaining Statistics! True to its title, this book is packed with rich narratives, concise conceptual explanations, and visual humor, all delivered by a statistical expert who will transform your understanding of natural science. It's a perfect substitute for a thick science book.
It will be a great introduction for those who are not interested in statistics, and for those who are interested but have found it difficult to approach.
