HS 311 Purdue Global University Misleading Statistics Discussion

 

I’m studying and need help with a Health & Medical question to help me learn.

One concern when using descriptive statistics, such as mean, median and mode, is that it is possible to mislead people, either accidentally or on purpose. Do you think this concern is reasonable? Explain your reasoning. What is an example of using statistics to mislead? As a user of statistics, how could you prevent yourself from being misled?
