Abstract:

At first blush, statistics do not seem to have much in common with humor and the arts. However, there are several examples from art, poetry, literature, and film where statistics are used as a theme. Many of us in our everyday work lives use humor to impart difficult statistical concepts to our clients in ways they can understand. Join us in discussing how humor, the arts and statistics intersect. Bring your favorite statistical pictures, poems, web sites, etc.
