Graphs and statistics are often used to persuade.
Advertisers and others may accidentally or
intentionally present information in a misleading
way.
For example, art is often used to make a graph
more interesting, but it can distort the
relationships in the data.
13
Explain why each graph is misleading.
The graph suggests that the stock will continue
to increase through 2020, but theres no way to

Lesson Quiz Part 2
Explain why each graph or statistic is misleading
2. A budget area of a used-car lot has five cars
on it, with prices of 4200, 4700, 4900, 5200,
and 900 (a wrecked one). The car ad in the local
paper reads Average priced car on budget lot is
3980.
The wrecked cars price brings the average down.
Without using the price of the wrecked car, the
average price would be 4750.
