Description
Statistics. Are they overdramatized or backed with integrity? The author wrote this book to give readers an honest insight into misleading and deceitful statistics. Readers will be empowered to look at statistics and sample charts in the future with a more logical and honest view. There is information in this book I would never have thought to consider. For example, is the statistic showing the mean, median, or mode? Where are people gathering their information for their chart? How many people were involved in the survey? In a world with continual data and statistics thrown at us, this book shows us how to look at the information with a different lens. ~ Gina
