Description

Search the internet for a reliable statistic. Make sure the statistic you find comes from an original or primary source – whether it be a peer-reviewed article, think-tank, or other organization. Do not use news articles that report the findings of a study; use the original study itself. Please remember to cite your source. Once you’ve found your statistic, answer the following prompts. If you use sources in your writing, be sure to cite them and identify them in the reference list. Delete these instructions before you save and submit your work.

Prompt 1: After you locate your statistic, explain how it might be used to mislead an audience into embracing conclusions that the statistic does not support by playing the role of someone who is trying to lie with statistics.

Prompt 2: Design a fake advertisement or news story in which you will try to use the statistic in question to make a persuasive point.

• Your advertisement or story can consist of a written document, graphic, or video.
• If you choose a graphic or video, you may submit it at the same time you submit your assignment. (2 submissions for this assignment)

• Whatever you decide to do, you should feature a depiction or description of the statistic and an explanation of how it might be used to support a misleading agenda.
