Every Other Month On The Second Monday
Science Spark: Statistics for Non-Mathematicians
Monday June 8 2026 2:00PM
Sun City Library
Event Description
What is the difference between a "mean' and a "median"? Under what circumstances are each appropriate? In this class we will discuss what is actually meant by the term "statistics" and how the ideas are commonly misused and misunderstood in our culture and media. Registration needed.
Watch for other Science Spark events every other month on a Monday!
For more participatory science, check out a library Citizen Science kit and share your observations with working scientists. For more information, and to check availability, see:
