Stats

I've have been thinking all week about the video we watched in class last Tuesday night. Professor Enlow seemed shocked by the statistics in the clip.  I had a hard time having a similar reaction.  Throughout my career as a student, I have learned that one can make statistics say anything.  The numbers can be skewed in a certain directions to have the impact that one is looking for.  I question the validity of statistics I read on you tube.  That is not to say that these statistics were all incorrect, without further research on the topic, I am just a little skeptical.  I noticed that Adam was inclined to question many of the facts in the video as well, and I understand where he is coming from.
