Read the opinion piece (Links to an external site.) by David Spiegelhalter, a British statistician and professor at Cambridge University, and please submit a
100-300 word write up of your understanding of what he is saying. In particular, what is being incorrectly said by politicians? What is the problem with
looking at the average death rate? What does he call the "most statistically dim-witted utterance" that he has ever heard? Why? Do you generally agree with
him?
