Statistics are what we look at to provide evidence and certainty in different claims, but how do we know the statistics are actually accurate and provide the correct results? In truth we can’t possibly know unless we actually collect the data ourselves. The main issue is that when someone conducts a search, they will be provided with different averages depending on whether they use the: Mean,Mode or median. These three methods all provide slightly different answers in when collecting the average. Depending on how bias the person is, they could pick and choose the average to sway the readers to a certain side of the argument.
