Bad statistics: How not to be misled with Jennifer Rogers
b'
You might have heard that vending machines are more likely to kill you than a shark, but they aren\\u2019t the only deadly object out there. You\\u2019re also more likely to be killed by falling coconuts, lightning strikes, bathtubs and your own bed. Swimming in shark-infested waters might actually be safer than hiding in your own house.
\\nIn this episode, statistician Jennifer Rogers delves into the numbers to show you how statistics can help you to make better decisions about risky activities.
