Making Data Meaningful. Part 4: Guide To Statistical Literacy

“Statistical literacy” is a term we use to describe the ability of a person or a group to understand statistics. For more than 30 years, researchers have been discussing this interdisciplinary topic in fields such as mathematics, statistics, education, psychology and linguistics. It requires mainly mathematical and statistical skills, as well as the ability to interpret the figures and to distinguish between valid and invalid data. And it enables an individual to assess the information that figures provide and understand what the data reveal about the world.
