Ford samples 1000 people and finds that 71% of respondents say they feel safer in a car than in a plane. This is advertised in the next Ford Superbowl commercial. What is a potential problem with this?
Ford is a car company, so the survey's trustworthiness could be called into question
Planes are safer. Everyone knows this.
There weren't enough people surveyed.
You aren't safe in either if Chuck Norris is after you.

What is the problem with the word "average?"
It starts with an a.
It can mean many different things
It is always mean to everyone (okay, this is kind of a dad joke)
it is not an accurate representation of data often
Various news outlets release a statement from the Ticonderoga pencil company that did a study showing students in the US do better in maths when using a pencil than when using a pen. What is a potential problem with this? Check all that apply
Everyone knows students do better maths with pens than with pencils.
Since Ticonderoga is a pencil company, the study could have flaws because of conflict of interest.
The news outlets did not follow up to see if anyone peer-reviewed this study.
"Maths" should be "math."

The following parallel dotplots show the total family income of randomly chosen individuals from Indiana (38 individuals) and New Jersey (44 individuals). Which of the following correctly compares the center of the distribution?
The Indiana distribution is roughly symmetric, while the New Jersey distribution is right-skewed.
The distribution for Indiana has a similar center to the distribution for New Jersey, around $45,000.
The variability for Indiana is less than the variability for New Jersey.
$125,000 appears to be an outlier for the Indiana distribution and there isn't any obvious outliers for the New Jersey distribution.
