Statistics and Graphing
Kila200-300 words
One of the disturbing uses of statistics in the media is taking statistical information and displaying the information in an exaggerated manner to trick the reader into a certain point of view. On pages 98-100 of your textbook, pick one of the following problems:1, 2, 3a, 4a, 5, 6, 7a, 8, 9, 13, or 15. Discuss how the graph is misleading. Why might the graph's creator have made the graph this way? How could the graph be improved to show the information in an unbiased manner? Do you think it is unethical to portray information in this way? Why or why not?
