[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 100589, member: 24"] One of my regular classroom assignments is to give the students 30 years of SAT data and ask them to use it to answer the question : was the sat harder or easier when your parents took it? They have to use their graph to defend a position. After we get a discussion going, I show them how, by choosing the scale of the axises, I can use the same data to appear to support either position. It is important to recognize any bias that is built into the process of displaying a data set. [/QUOTE]
