October 20 is World Statistics Day. Celebrate all month with programs from Against All Odds: Inside Statistics, featuring host and geneticist Pardis Sabeti. Students will learn the relevance of statistics in real-world settings. For example, the University of New Hampshire Survey Center illustrates how pollsters create accurate surveys, such as voter surveys.
