Abstract

Statistics are the basis of much, if not most, decision making. Advertising agencies use statistics as do railway companies. Simple data manipulation is usually adequate though sophisticated techniques are available. A somewhat detailed analysis for costing a long railway tunnel is given with an OOM estimate for one across the Caspian Sea. A brief examination of some of the extreme risks are also given, including recent unusual ones that have occurred. Two large but unusual fire risks which will impact the supply of electricity to trains are stated. In addition, two novel new routes in the UK have been examined and an outline of the necessary new data needed before advanced statistics can be employed has also been stated.
