Instructions:
Statistics are powerful and convincing when used properly. This feature of statistical reasoning, however, also makes them liable to misuse. In this weeks assignment, you will find a legitimate statistic and explain how it might be used to mislead an audience.
]Start by searching the internet for a reliable statistic. Make sure the statistic you find comes from an original or primary source whether it be a peer-reviewed article, think-tank, or other organization. Do not use news articles that report the f
indings of a study; use the original study itself. Please remember to cite your source.
· After you locate your statistic, explain how it might be used to mislead an audience into embracing conclusions that the statistic does not support by playing the role of someone who is trying to lie with statistics.
· Design a fake advertisement or news story in which you will try to use the statistic in question to make a persuasive point.
o Your advertisement or story can consist of a written document, graphic, or video.
o Whatever you decide to do, you should feature a depiction or description of the statistic and an explanation of how it might be used to support a misleading agenda.
· After creating your fake advertisement or news story, include a short one paragraph statement on why it is misleading and what can be done to avoid being misled by it.
