And if you really don't know the bottom line you will believe whatever garbage is put out. The only thing I can see about the way this statistic is being measured is that it is being based against the general population which we were already told earlier in the census video that an accurate count in the general population is already hard to be accurate, let alone the amount of Hispanics in the general population. Almost every place I have worked has held a meeting for the employees using a graph and a pointer to prove that the employees are getting a lot more benefits and money. At the time the way it is explained using the graph it makes sense. The further I go in this class the more examples I see that this is true.
Statistics seem to be able to be used to prove either side of a problem.
If I have learned one thing in this class so far it is to question the validity of the numbers and the way they were obtained when someone is trying to use them to prove a point. Dr. Haehl, I'm with Mike on the discrimination statistics. I agree with you, Paula. I'm questioning everything I hear. I really had a hard time voting.
