Validity of Statistics

How much can we trust statistics? Why are they often misleading? What are some basic statistical distributions, when are they applicable, and what assumptions do we need to make when using them? Join us for a two-hour discussion of this important topic. Basil Gala will lead us off with a brief introduction, which will be followed by a free-for-all discussion. As always, be respectful of one another and try not to dominate the discussion. Bombers will be booted and reported.
