Lies or damned lies! These would be statistics which are faulty or presented in a misleading way (deliberately or accidentally). Such statistics could arise in a number of ways:

  • the experimental model was flawed,
  • there were errors in measurement or recording,
  • the sample was biased,
  • correlation was interpreted as causation,
  • poor graph design - scales, pictograms using improper dimensions,
