In Chapter 13 of the Epstein handbook, it discussed about misleading claims with numbers an important concept as a student. As a student, we are bombarded with countless statistical data that can be true or wrong. Unlike claims, we do not have strong evidence that a statement is accurate. To make it even more harder, companies or researchers use graphs to support their data. In our fast paced life, we read statements with numbers and on the spot believe they are true. We do not take the time to read how that person researched to come up with that number. We just have to take their word that it is true. However, Epstein shows a solution to this problem. Besides showing graphs in our essays, we can use scientific references to demonstrate the validity of the claim. We can use the mean, median, and mode to show a statement is true. By showing the average of a claim, we can see that the experiment or research was repeated more than once. Also, we can use our personal obervations to help determine whether a statement is true.
