During the pandemic, we were inundated with statistics, with which the media and professionals tried to inform the public about what was happening, as well as predict the future.
The media and the profession assumed that the public would be able to be convinced of the seriousness of the situation by "objective numbers", and that they would understand them enough to find the information most clear in this form. But have these expectations been fulfilled? Statistics is a very useful and interesting discipline that is by no means to be taken lightly, which is why the author has compiled a manual intended for all beginners, students and adults who would like to understand it better.
The guide to the numbers is written personally, through Slavko's stories and anecdotes, which will help us better imagine all the common mistakes that compilers and readers of statistics make.
