Peter Donnelly：被統計愚弄的陪審團

牛津數學家Peter Donnelly揭露一般大眾在解讀統計資訊時所會犯的錯誤，這些錯誤在罪犯的審判上，會造成致命的影響。

Mistakes in interpreting statistics can have devastating real-world consequences, especially in legal trials. A single numerical error once helped convict a mother of murder after the tragic deaths of her two children, when flawed probability reasoning obscured the truth. People routinely misjudge probabilities, such as overestimating the accuracy of medical tests or misunderstanding the odds in random events. Recognizing and correcting these statistical blind spots is essential for justice and good decision-making.
