Can we trust maths? with Kit Yates
b'If you see a newspaper headline with a big, bold statistic, how do you know that you can trust it? How often do false positive and false negative test results occur in medical screenings? And how do you safely bet whether or not 2 people in any room will share a birthday?\\n\\nThis month we hear from Kit Yates about the maths of medicine, crime and the media, exploring real-world data from his book, \\u2018The Maths of Life and Death\\u2019.\\n\\nThis talk was recorded from our theatre at the Royal Institution, on 21 January 2020.
