Description
The role of chance in our everyday lives is often overlooked. While we attribute success to skill and hard work, luck also plays a significant part. In fact, perfectly natural variation can lead us to attach meaning to the meaningless. Statistical analysis can help us understand how chance affects various aspects of life, from sports to education and business. By examining the role of luck in these areas, we can gain a new perspective on decision-making and avoid common cognitive errors. In "What the Luck?", statistician Gary Smith explains how a statistical understanding of luck can change the way we see our lives. With clear and witty prose, he helps readers understand the importance of chance in everyday life.
