Then, through specific political examples from both the United States and the United Kingdom, it is shown how polls famously derided as \"wrong\" were, in fact, accurate. While polls are not always accurate, the reasons we can and can't (rightly) call them \"wrong\" are explained in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will equip readers with the tools to navigate the mismatch of expectations. It is not intended to replace more technical applications of statistics but is accessible to anyone interested in learning more about how poll data should be understood, compared to how it's currently misunderstood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 358\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724365008959,"sku":"9781032483023","price":108.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/bdb3f06dcd5428d98e619555edd45021.webp?v=1765102412","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-polls-werent-wrong-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
