How to lie with statistics

How to Lie With Statistics is a very interesting little book that I read recently. The book is very thin (less than 100 pages) but is fun to read. This book was originally written at least a decade ago but you still see those lies with charts and graphs every now and then. Very refreshing to learn about those dirty tricks!

Belive it or not, I learned the true difference between the different averages that people quote (i.e. mean, median and mode).
