Product Description
A superb layman's non-mathematical introduction to the use and, just like the title says, abuse of statistics. The author intersperses a very dry humor into tales of mid-20th century Britain as to the application of such basic statistical measures as mean, mode, average, standard deviation, population sampling, surveys, etc. The concluding chapter on linear programming is obsolete, but still an interesting look at how things were done prior to the advent of the microcomputer.
Paperback, published by Pelican 1971, 10 years after the origianl publication.
