John Davies, Bearsden and Milngavie u3a

How do your statistical skills compare with MPs?

Westminster MPs were surveyed in 2022 on the statistics of tossing coins, rolling dice and testing for a virus. They did not do well on most. This talk explains the questions and sets the statistics in context.

I was a professor of electronics and taught subjects from mathematics to computing at Glasgow University from 1986 until I retired in 2020. Now I am Membership Secretary of Bearsden and Milngavie u3a, try to spend more time in the countryside and am struggling to improve my Spanish language.
