ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff and Irving Geis explores the pervasive use of statistical methods and terms in a culture increasingly reliant on data. The book delves into various techniques through which statistics can be manipulated to sensationalize, inflate, confuse, and oversimplify information presented in areas like social trends, polls, and advertising. It examines common pitfalls and deliberate distortions arising from biased sampling, the selection of specific types of averages, the omission of crucial data, and misleading graphical representations. The core of the narrative lies in understanding how statistical presentations can deviate from truthful representation.
