How to Read a Number: Statistics for Citizens
by bam
Every civics argument arrives with a number attached. This course teaches you to check one: what was counted, who counted it, when, and compared to what. Polls and margins of error, rates versus counts, the denominator that decides the story, charts built to mislead, and the arithmetic of representation itself. No calculations required, and none of the numbers in it are invented.
