Waarom is statistiek zo moeilijk?

Statistics and probability... most students encounter it at some point, and for many, it's a dreadful subject. But why is that? Why is statistics so hated? And why should we study statistics more and better so we can continue to enjoy it for the rest of our lives? Johan Verbeeck, professor of statistics at Hasselt University, explains here why you can never fully grasp the world if you don't understand probability, percentages, likelihood, and statistics. 👨‍🏫 Guest speaker: Johan Verbeeck 🎙 Presenter: Koen Fillet 📝 Editing: Alexander Van Vlierberghe 🕵🏼‍♀️ Final editing: Katleen Bracke 🎧 Editing: Wederik De Backer This podcast is made possible thanks to the cooperation of KU Leuven, University of Antwerp, Ghent University, Hasselt University, VUB, and the Young Academy, and is produced with the support of VRT, the National Lottery, and the Flemish government.
