Working the stats

Fellow speaker,

Jeremy Donovan's study of TED talks suggests statistics work best when you interpret the data so that it is:
  • Vivid
  • Personal
  • Emotional
For example, "25% of the people polled thought this was a bad idea. That's about half the US who thought this idea stank!"

Statistically,
