READING 4.4

Reading 4.4 title statistic was presented by Killa and Yana. Based on my understanding in this article, it about the use and misuse of statistic and to inform the reader about text that link facts and figures. Four common statistical slips that can be made is unqualified, averages, fallacious sampling, percentages unaccompanied by actual numbers and misleading presentation. Misleading statistics are dangerous because it will not only adequate defence against misleading statistical traps but also some acquaintance with a useful decision making and fact finding tool. That is why most General studies course includes statistical exercises. The presentation was quite good. However, the audience can be more understand if the presenter can gives brief explanation towards this reading.
