Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week:
The Conservative party conference has been told that millions of people are getting free cars from the government because they have ADHD and anxiety. Is that right?
The chair of the Labour party says that only 3% of farmers will be affected by proposed changes to inheritance tax. Is that true?
The charity Movember claim that two in five men die too young. What does that really mean?
And Tim’s mid-life crisis has manifested itself in a marathon run. We ask a scientist if data can help him finish faster.
