This week’s discussion will require a little research. Do an Internet search for “how to lie with statistics.” In addition to many references to Darrell Huff’s classic book How to Lie with Statistics, you will find sites that explain how to use statistics to mislead your audience. Find an article that interests you and report on your findings. Provide several examples and include appropriate references.
Why do you think that statistics are sometimes used to give misleading information? Discuss with your classmates.
