Synopsis

While an adroit manipulation of statistics can be used to mislead people, a simple and intuitive application of the concept of statistical distributions can be used to catch many lies and correct several misconceptions prevalent in society today. Whether it be the mistaken superiority of one group versus the other, or the conversion of stereotypes, this book takes the complex concept of distributions, and renders it in a simple qualitative manner that anyone could understand. The concepts are them used to address several common misconceptions that are prevalent in the society, whether it be the supposed dominance of one group of people in sports or studies, or the debate of dinosaurs walking with humans, or a mistaken application of affirmative action principles, the book explains the reality in a simple way that most people can appreciate.
