Ejercicio 1

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

  1. The text says the case includes "misleading statistical statements" and "apparently impressive information".
  2. The salary range goes from 3,000 to 20,000, but the text explains we do not know the real value inside that range.
  3. There is no information about what percentage of employees earn 3,000, 10,000 or $20,000.
Respuesta

Because the data looks impressive but cannot be verified; the range is too wide and the percentages are unknown.

2
Ejercicio 2

Explain why verifying the sources of data is important before accepting it as true.

  1. The text states that when the difference between values is very large, the real value is unknown.
  2. Without additional information (percentages, sources), the data can be invented or misleading.
  3. Therefore, checking the source prevents accepting false statistical information.
Respuesta

Verifying sources is important because data can be invented or misleading, and only reliable sources let us know if the information is real.

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.

Grammar

Reported Speech

Reported speech puts the speaker's words or ideas into a sentence without quotation marks. In reported speech, the reader does not assume that the words are the speaker's exact words; often, they paraphrase the speaker's words "going back one tense."

  • Simple present changes to simple past.
  • Present progressive changes to past progressive.
  • Simple past changes to past perfect.
  • Present perfect changes to past perfect.
  • Will changes to would.
