Do missed appointments really cost the NHS £1bn per year?
What's the difference between the mean gender pay gap and the median gender pay gap?
How can we work out if a claim that we use 42 billion single-use plastic straws per year in the UK is accurate?
What did the Vote Leave campaign's £350m bus really mean?
How can we tell if the headline 'Public pensions cost you £4,000 a year' is correct?
Does snow really cost the UK economy £1bn per day?

Written by Anthony Reuben, the BBC's first head of statistics, Statistical is an accessible and empowering guide to challenging the numbers all around us.
