Maths and Stats by Email | Wrong science, Pie charts

Maths and Stats by Email | Wrong science, Pie charts: "Is science ever wrong?  
   
Science is a well-established way of testing ideas. Scientists have an idea, and then run an experiment to test it. Then they look at the result, to see if they correctly predicted what happened. In many fields of science, including medical science where consequences can be harmful, what happens is so complex it’s impossible to observe everything. To help make sense of it all, scientists use statistics."
