Show me a well-known example of "slanting statistics".?

Sure, in 2002 the total number of violent crimes in the US was 1,685,900 but in 2003 it went up to 1,829,900.  This is an increase of 144,000 violent crimes in the US in one year or 395 more violent crimes every day; an additional violent crime every three and a half minutes.  It's an 8.5% rise in crime in one year.\n\nBut, looking at the bigger picture, in 2004 violent crime came down to 1,648,100, that's lower than in 2002.  And all these numbers are MUCH lower than 2001 when there were over 2 million violent crimes committed in the US.  And it's all part of a steady, uninterupted downward trend that began in 1993 when there were over 4 million violent crimes in the US.\n\nAlso, please note that these statistics were presented without:  1) mixing definitions (comparing violent crime in one year to handgun crime in another); 2) mixing measurements (comparing total crime in one year to per capita crime the nest); or 3) drawing political conclusions about the reasons for the decrease.

Also, don't forget the huge field of use for statistics in botany - probability of measurements on one plant being significantly more or less than on another plant. And some plants show an architecture that is 4-sided (e.g. the mint family), while others show some other arrangement not based on 4 sides.

WWW.linktv.com\nThe above site, defines this. It explains how mass media gives slanted views. There are new independent, non-profit news/journalist agencies now telling other perspectives. Please check it out. I think you will get you question more than answered.

Is the term you are looking for "probability"?\n\nI hope this helps.

F- even and odds.  There are 3 even sides and 3 odd sides. So the likelihood is the same for both.
