Publisher's Synopsis

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.
