       with you -- The life table : you can bet on it! -- The 
       rarest events -- The waiting game -- Stockbrokers and 
       climate change. 
520 1  "Our lives are governed by chance. But what, exactly, is 
       chance? In this book, accomplished statistician and 
       storyteller Bart K. Holland takes us on a tour of the 
       world of probability. Weaving together tales from real 
       life - from the spread of the bubonic plague in medieval 
       Europe or the number of Prussian cavalrymen kicked to 
       death by their horses, through IQ test results and deaths 
       by voodoo curse, to why you have to wait in line for rides
       at Disneyworld - Holland captures the reader's imagination
       with surprising examples of probability in action, 
       everyday events that can profoundly affect our lives but 
       are controlled by just one number."--Jacket.
