Jo said...: 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.

Mr 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; September 28, 2009 at 10:19 PM
