Greetings everyone!
My name is Artem Skripnik, and I am the fourth-year student at University at New York in Prague. The idea of this blog is present to you the issue of misleading statistics in media. Although this blog was created as a project at my university, this topic interests me a lot because of the problems which occur sometimes by the statistics presented in the media. At most, people tend to believe conclusions based on a numerical or graphical evidence, which is a field of statistics. The conclusions supported with the numerical evidence seems logical and trustful to us. However, the statical evidence could be a misleading or falsified in some cases, and that could lead to bad consequences. This evidence would lead us to wrong conclusions that will directly or indirectly influence our decision. Sometimes that decisions could be crucial, and bad decision could affect our life. That is why this blog will dive into the topic of misleading statistics in media. The aims of this blog would be to explore various aspects of misleading statistics, the methods of how these reports can be made, the events that are caused by the misleading statistics, the psychological aspects of misleading statistics and many more.
