We both sat down and compared notes, like we have during the entirety of this book discussion. We took turns going back and forth about what topics grabbed our attention and what we wanted to discuss further. These two chapters didn't bring out any disagreements between the two of us. Final questions were just about our thoughts on the book as a whole.

Posted by Lexus Forman in Statistics - Miles - C on

​In this podcast the group discussed chapters 4-6. All members of the group were present in this podcast. We focused on how graphs could be perceived in different ways by how it is designed. We also talked about how different studies and test don't always test accurately. We brought up numerous examples from the book to support our opinions and compared ideas from the book to what we learned in class throughout the school year.

All group members were present during this discussion. 

What your club discussed/How you discussed it: We all sat in a circle and talked about chapters Intro, 1,2 and 3. We brought up numerous examples from the chapters and shared our thoughts on them... as well as sharing our opinions about why this example was put into the book. We also shared quotes, and personal examples that we felt tied in with the topic of that chapter. We compared a lot of examples from previous time periods to our time period, and talked about how different the results would be if these tests were during our time. 

Any points of conflict/disagreement in discussion: We all agreed that the examples weren't relatable to us. We didn't disagree about anything. 

Questions that came up as a result of the discussion: No questions.

​In this podcast we covered the second, third, fourth, and fifth chapters of "How to Lie with Statistics" by Darrell Huff. In this discussion we talked a lot about graphs and how people use them to "lie." We also brought up examples of lying with statistics from outside sources and had a lot of thoughtful discussions.

When we tried to upload we kept getting an error message. So we thought that it would be easier for us to upload the chapters to Youtube and share the link. Also, we had to record chapter 1 on a different file that is why there is two different links.
