 I NEED A POSITIVE COMMENT BASED IN THIS ARGUMENT. BETWEEN 150-200 WORDS

Graphics and/or statistics can be used to represent or misrepresent data by poor selection methods that affect the accuracy of the data because of an individuals biased opinion if they are getting a monetary “kick back” or sometimes it can be without the person realizing there is a problem.

An example would be poor data response or inaccurate information. An example would be in census data. This can occur when one segment of the population is over-represented in the selection either intentionally or unintentionally. Even a random selection method can yield a poor sample if the sample size is too small or the entire population was not known or identified to be possibly included in the sample whether intention or unintentionally.
