摘要
There appears to be a paradox in the fact that as more and more quantitative information becomes routinely available in a world perceived to be ever more complex, there is less and less direct appreciation of the role and power of statistical thinking. It is suggested that the profession should exploit very real public concerns regarding risk aspects of public policy as a possible pedagogic route to raising statistical awareness.
