Unit 7 Statistical Raw Numbers

Описание: Unit 7 addresses the use of statistical raw numbers in arguments, emphasizing their importance in situations where percentages might be misleading due to small sample sizes. These numbers offer concrete evidence and can significantly bolster an argument when presented with accurate and comprehensive context. It's vital to describe fully the situation, location, subject, and details of data collection and compilation. Clarity in explaining what the numbers measure and presenting them alongside a general statement is key to avoiding misrepresentation. For example, when advocating for increased school funding, presenting the actual class sizes compared to state averages can compellingly illustrate the need for additional resources. The proper use of statistical raw numbers, with attention to context and limitations, can greatly enhance the persuasiveness and credibility of an argument.
