Exercise 4

Identify possible misrepresented statistics.
Politicians, businesspeople, and others love to quote statistics to support their viewpoints. Locate three news stories in which someone quotes statistics to support a particular case. Then find an unbiased source that either confirms or refutes those statistics. Write a memo to your instructor discussing your findings. Include a copy of both the original news articles and your supporting statistics.
