How Statistics Can Lie

all the little shadows being drawn are terrible and ruin most of the drawings
Sounds like an ASMR video.
Nice effort
Oh... like the "wage gap."
Put some bass in you voice, sounds like a high school sissy, no one wants to see a toilet drawn
First off, super cool video! I love how engaging the artwork is. However, I would say this is more representative of a lurking variable, or mistaking causation for correlation, then it is about the efficacy of statistics. This is a small component of statistics which of course could have a disastrous effect, but in no way does it sum statistics. Other than that, It is a very interesting and well made video!
To add- statistics results and goals are first created and then statistics are used to back this up, that is often manipulated to fit the result/ goal. Like any business action, the goal is planned first then the how later.
.
Its not what the statistics will show but how can statistics show the goal of the action.
I've thought that before. You polled 1200 people out of 30 million. How can that be taken seriously?
Bravo, this deserves more views!
You didn't explain how statistics can lie. Spoiler they can't.
Useful info about how statisticians can manipulate data and mislead people. Many people lack a basic knowledge of probability and data interpretation. Advertisements in commercials or billboards often use graphs or charts that make a product more appealing but the data is often being altered in order to misrepresent the quality of the product.
I never really gave much thought to the "sample size" when advertisements presented statistics. I always just trusted that their statistics were based off a large enough population to be accurate, and never really thought that they could potentially be twisting in a way to make it seems as if what they are saying is true, even though it is really not. Thus, it is important to consider the methods of which the data was collected, as well as the sample size, in order to not be misled.
wow I didn't know that statistics can lie so much. You really need to look at all the different aspects and can't just hold something as true.
Really cool video. I think its important not to always consider statistics as the end all be all, and how its important to look at the factors that made them. Don't take all statistics at "face value".
awesome
hmm, this format looks very familiar, great video though.
This is a great introductory video!  I was wondering were to find the article mentioned in it.  I did a google search but can't find it.
What a great video, the content you covered was great and the examples you used were very good. Slowing the pace of you speech down a little and removing the air noises are the only thing that could improve your otherwise brilliant video. Keep up the awesome work
You should stop smoking. >_> Listening to you breathe heavily after every fucking word is to express it in a mild manner, FUCKING ANNOYING.
