    Statistics can be misleading when they are used


    to disto" or misrepresent the truth, or to
    create an incorrect impression . This can happen
    intentionally or unintentionally, and can lead to
    false conclusions that in#uence public opinion,
    policy decisions, and business strategies.

    Here are some ways statistics can be


    misleading:
    Cherry-picking: Selecting only data points that
    suppo! a pa!icular viewpoint or conclusion
    Correlation vs. causation: Drawing conclusions
    based solely on correlation without establishing a
    cause-and-e#ect relationship
    Small sample sizes: Using small sample sizes to
    exaggerate signi$cance or precision
    Truncated axes: Manipulating graphs and visuals
    by sta!ing the axes at some other value than
    zero
    Bad sampling: Using a sample size that is wrong
    or not representative
    Misinformation: Fabricating results or not
    repo!ing errors
    Neglecting the baseline: Ignoring an impo!ant
    baseline for comparison
    Fallacious comparison: Comparing two things
    using criteria that only makes sense for one of
    them

    To avoid being misled by statistics, you can look


    for the range of values, repo% numbers with
    con&dence intervals, gather more data before
    jumping to conclusions, compare multiple
    studies, and ask about the design of the data-
    gathering process.

    Misleading statistics can come from: Bad


    sampling: wrong sample size, no
    representative sample. Misinformation:
    wholly invented numerical data, fabricated
    results, not repo%ing errors. Neglecting the
    baseline: ignoring an impo%ant baseline for
    comparison.
