how to cite statistics
And the statistic is taken from a website I trust and use at work. As far as I can tell, I have a few options: 1. Leave it as is. 2. Add a citation (Source) at the end of the sentence. 3. Add a citation *source at the end of the essay. 3. Rephrase the statistic (remove quote marks) and don't cite. 4. Rephrase the statistic and cite. 5. Take out the statistic altogether. Obviously I don't want to do anything even vaguely hinting of plagiarism.
