We started class with a brief discussion on populations, samples, margins of error, and confidence intervals. In the next couple of days, we shall look at these elements more in-depth mathematically. We then continued watching Hans Rosling's TED talk on analyzing datasets. It was impressive to see how Jared immediately grasped the various depths of information that can be gleaned from the same dataset depending on the different ways those data are presented. We discussed the pitfalls involved when data are cherrypicked, intentionally or not, and how this can lead to grossly distorted interpretations.
