Should statistical literacy be a core life skill taught everywhere?
I've been tracking how much time I actually spend on statistics versus just reacting to numbers, and it's made me wonder if statistical literacy should be a core life skill taught everywhere. When I see people misinterpret a simple average or confuse correlation with causation in everyday decisions, I realize how much hinges on understanding basic stats. Do you think schools and media should do more to make statistical thinking accessible to everyone, or is it enough to rely on experts and tools?
