Misleading Statistics 1 Mary Arrington School of Business, University of Arkansas Grantham HU260: Misleading Statistics Week 5 Assignment
Misleading Statistics 2 Abstract Companies whose public image has been tarnished by the exposure of false product claims may need brand restoration. One of the most common options for these companies is name changes, which can help eliminate negative consumer associations with their old brand. Statistical abuse occurs when a statistical argument is wrong. In some cases, the misuse can be accidental. In others intentionally and for the sake of the author. If the statistical justification used is wrong or misapplied, then there is a statistical error.
Misleading Statistics 3 Reliable Statistics or False Advertising The term 'false advertising' is the unlawful act of an advertiser, manufacturer, seller or manufacturer of a particular good or service to falsely advertise its product. False advertising aims to trick customers into buying a product by using misleading or misleading language and claims. False advertising is considered illegal in the United States and many other countries because the customer has an undeniable and inherent right to know and learn what product or service they are purchasing. Materiality bias is the use of statistical evidence in an disagreement or argument without stating the basis for those statistics or distorting their meaning, misinterpreting the statistics, or using statistics that are unlikely to be reliable.
