Ejercicio 1

Read the text and answer: Why is the "IMPORTANT COMPANY HIRING" case an example of false information with misleading statistical statements?

  1. The text states that the case includes apparently impressive information, but we cannot know if it is real.
  2. It is possible that the company invented the information, or that some sellers only receive the base salary without additional income.
  3. There is a big difference between 3,000 and 20,000, and no additional data about the distribution of incomes.
Respuesta

Because the salary range is too wide and there is no information about the percentage of employees earning each amount, so the data cannot be verified.

Ejercicio 4

Why is it important to verify the sources of any data presented before accepting it as true statistical information?

  1. The text explains that when there is a large range between values, the real value is unknown.
  2. Without additional information, such as percentages, the data can be misleading.
  3. Verifying sources helps determine if the information is real or invented.
Respuesta

Because data can be manipulated or invented, and only by checking the sources can we know if the information is reliable.

Contenido de la página

The "IMPORTANT COMPANY HIRING" case is an example of false information with misleading statistical statements. Even though it includes apparently impressive information, we cannot know if it's real.

It's possible that the company invented the information. It's also possible that some sellers simply receive the base salary and do not get any additional income.

When there is so much difference between 3,000 and 20,000, we don't know the real value within this range because it's too big, and we don't have additional information about the data. For example, what percentage of the employees receive a 3,000 income? What percentage receive 10,000? And what percentage receive $20,000? Therefore, verifying the sources of any data presented before accepting it as true statistical information is important.
