Full Circle & David Spiegelhalter: How to Tell the Truth with Data

Statistics has played a leading role in our scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all familiar with the way its claims and figures can be sensationalised and manipulated, especially in an age of big data. David Spiegelhalter, statistician and expert communicator on risk, chance and uncertainty, explains how to tell the truth with data and guides us through the essential principles we need to derive knowledge from it. Drawing on real world problems, he shows us how a proper use of data can help us determine the luckiest passenger on the Titanic, how many trees are on the planet, and whether busier hospitals have higher survival rates. Spiegelhalter reveals the answers to these and many other questions that can only be addressed using statistical science. If you have a burning question, this is your chance! Don’t miss it.
