What it’s about
Every day we make decisions with numbers we don’t fully understand: a poll, a medical study, a crime rate. The problem is almost never the math. It’s that our intuition about chance is badly calibrated.
Everyone brings a question about something they’re curious about. Week by week we learn to make it precise, to see how a sample can fool us, to simulate what pure chance would do, and to measure how sure we are. At the meetup, everyone presents their answer and defends it.
The route
The materials open once we announce the date. Join the group and we’ll let you know.
