S02 ACTIVITIES (Confidence InterVals)
S03 ACTIVITIES (society’s use of statistics)
- 'FAANGG' Is Catchy, But Not Fully Accurate from Seeking Alpha - This article includes an anecdote from Jordan Ellenberg's How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking that helps to illustrate the erroneous nature of using positive and negative numbers in statistics. Ellenberg calls this the "More pie than plate" fallacy.
