Factfulness by Hans Rosling

 FACTFULNESS  Hans Rosling

I found this an interesting book I trying to understand the source and accuracies of data-base anything in todays’ world.  He sets up the premise with examples of how he majority of experts will always 86% of the time gets wrong when trying  to guess the statiscitslc  facts f life: 

  • What age are most girls educated

Factfulness is recognizing when a story talks about a gap:

Beware of comparisons of averages

Beware of comparisons of extremes
