Actuarial Fairy Tales: Statistically Significant Stories

John Lee

The only, I mean, funniest actuarial fairy tale book in the world!

Actuarial Fairy Tales is the result of fitting a statistical humour distribution to a dataset of well-known fairy tales after making some assumptions and unfounded extrapolations.

Featuring a diversified portfolio of statistically scintillating stories, including:

  • R-punzel
  • The Princess and the p-value
  • Beauty and the Beastly Actuary
  • RumpelSTATSkin
  • Goldilocks and the 3 Bear Market Analysts

Hypothesis tests show, at the 1% level, that this book is significantly funnier than being eaten by a wolf,

locked in a tower or poisoned by an apple.

The perfect bedtime reading for actuaries, data analysts, and financial analysts everywhere.*

*Guaranteed to send them to sleep.

About the Author

Lee, John: - John was born at a very young age with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. At first, it appeared that no lasting damage had been done, but as he grew, it became clear that his sense of humour had been damaged irreparably.John lives with his family near Oxford, England where daily he wonders how his wife still finds the same jokes funny after more than 20 years of marriage.
