Curriculum vitae
"La poca familiarità con la statistica porta a confondere la probabilità con l’imprecisione. Al contrario, probabilità e statistica sono strumenti precisi, che ci permettono di rispondere in modo attendibile a domande precise. Senza di esse non avremmo l’efficacia della medicina moderna, la meccanica quantistica, le previsioni del tempo, la sociologia… Anzi, non avremmo l’intera scienza sperimentale, dalla chimica all’astronomia. Senza la statistica avremmo idee molto più vaghe su come funzionano gli atomi, le nostre società e le galassie. È stata la statistica, solo per fare un esempio, a permetterci di comprendere che fumare fa male e l’amianto uccide."
da "Sì, no, anzi: probabilmente" di Carlo Rovelli (Il Sole 24 ore – Domenica 20 gennaio 2013)
