This slide deck, which can be used as a reading or an activity, briefly introduces nine questions to ask when evaluating the validity of a statistical claim. It then provides a series of statistical claims for students to evaluate and ends by asking students to apply this same type of evaluation to a statistical claim from their own project. It can take 40-60 minutes to present in class, depending on the amount of discussion.
Keywords: Data-Driven Argument, Quantitative Reasoning, Quantitative Rhetoric, Statistical Claims, Numerical Argumentation
