When discussing chapters 3, 5, or 6, incorporate the following article into your discussion:

Also, each member of your group should find an article online containing a misleading graph and discuss it during the podcast (be sure to talk about why it’s misleading!). Be sure to include a link to all articles in the text of your post of the podcast that corresponds to chapters 3, 5, or 6.

Please make sure to update this post with your podcast in the near future. You had a lot of good discussion, but there were a lot of rough cuts. For your next podcast, please respond to the following prompts:

  1. Choose one of the quotations inside the front cover and discuss how it relates to the Introduction.
  2. What is the advantage of a stratified random sample and what difficulties does it pose, according to chapter 1?
