Kathleen's Scribepost for September 28th
1.2 MISREPRESENTING DATA
Key Words :
1) . distorting the scale.
2). distorting the information by using visuals of different sizes .
3). making the numbers look bigger , makes it looks like its more important .
Kathleen, I like your examples of misrepresenting data. It is one of the ways that organisations often try to influence people. I am reading your post from Western Australia.
Good job Kathleen ! I like how your scribe turned out. The only thing wrong with it is the pictures. I think they are a little too small, but other then that you did well.
more important .
Now I'm starting to think about if I've been duped by data.
ReplyDeleteGood job Kathleen i really like how you did you pictures and how you made colours and stuff. Really good job. :)

Hi Kathleen
ReplyDeleteMr Montgomery here. I teach maths to kids your age in Perth Western Australia.
Thanks for taking the time to write in your blog. I'm sure Mr Harbeck appreciates it.
These are good examples. It would be even better if you could describe in your own words how each example misrepresents the data

ReplyDeleteGood job Kathleen ! Love the post, but put some more words for the definition thing, so it's easier to understand and makes you look smarter.
