The Need for Statistical Literacy | Jeffrey McLean | TEDxStLawrenceU

Remember when, as a young student, you asked, “Why do I need math and statistics? When will I ever use it outside of school?” Jeffrey McClain, a postdoctoral fellow of Mathematics, Computer science and Statistics at St. Lawrence University, shares the importance of statistical literacy – of building the tools to interpret data on your own and tell the data’s story rather than only believing others’ interpretations of the data.
