  <abstract>Using a host of funny characters, this title presents the tricks, tips and shortcuts to statistics they don't teach at school. It helps readers find out how fractions can save them from the toxic mutant fish of Fastbuck, what makes Pongo McWhiffy a mathematical freak, and travel to Planet Mean to discover how averages can be absolutely revolting.</abstract>
