Complete Short Business Statistics Discussion Post NO PLAGIARISM

Discussion 1 Instructor Comments:

Do not include falsifying data as an ethical problem—it’s not a poor use of statistics; it’s just lying. Some good examples might include: presentation to suggest the wrong conclusion; polls constructed to force a desired answer; or bias in sample selection. Give specific examples.

In the textbook, §1.8 discusses “Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice” and promotes the idea that we should strive to be ethical in all that we do.

    • Why is it important to use statistics ethically?
    • Give an example of unethical use of statistics and explain why it is unethical.
    • Could this unethical use of statistics be corrected so that the statistics are performed fair, thoroughly, and objectively? Why or why not?
