About Course
“Doubles your risk!” headlines can sound alarming – but double of what? This course explains the difference between absolute and relative risk, how to turn percentages into “natural frequencies” such as 3 in 1,000, how to compare risks fairly, and the questions to ask about any risk claim in health, finance or the news.
