Presenting Data to Non-Technical Audiences

Summary

Translating statistical nuance into plain language without dumbing down the conclusion — 'we're 95% confident this works' rather than a full explanation of confidence intervals.

• 1Practice explaining a statistical concept (like significance) to someone with no data background.
• 2Remove jargon from a past write-up and see if the conclusion still lands clearly.
• 3Learn to use analogies for statistical concepts rather than formal definitions.
