6.6 Misleading Graphs (p.146-147)

This unit is practice for determining how conclusions about data can be influenced.

I.Pay attention to the question being asked in a survey:
-Does the question give preference to something (bias)?
-Do the words used influence the person being surveyed?

II.Examine graphs:
-Check the scale to see if it's been stretched or cut off?
-Is the scale consistent or does it change?
