Review some of the sites in the Statistics Literacy category in the Webliography. These sites examine the news media’s handling of statistics. Based on these sites and your experience, respond to all of the following prompts:

    • Are we getting the correct numbers and interpretation of statistics from the news media?
    • Provide an example, from a publication, that supports your answer.  No plagiarism. Add your references
