How to Lie With Statistics

Mark Twain once said, 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'

The reason why he placed statistics into its own category is because it is possible to use numbers to misrepresent the truth, distort reality, or outright lie.

However, if you know what to look for, you can catch misuses of statistics, and if really pay attention, you can find these misuses almost everywhere.

Learn more about how you can lie with statistics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
