The Book of Odds: From Lightning Strikes to Love at First Sight, the Odds of Everyday Life by Amram Shapiro
You would if you perused “The Book of Odds” (William Morrow), a new collection of the statistics that rule everyday life.
Compiled by Amram Shapiro, Louise Firth Campbell and Rosalind Wright, it includes odds for everything from love and sex (1 in 7.4 adults have had a threesome) to politics (there’s a 1 in 2.7 chance an American is a Republican, and a 1 in 3 chance they’re a Democrat). Some are random. Some are important. Most are fascinating. Did you know, for instance, that 1 in 21.8 boys born in 1950 were named Robert?
In their research, the authors stumbled across a few statistical coincidences — two scenarios for which the odds are the same.
