guys take a look, and it's urgent, help is in need and appreciated.
1. Recent research provides evidence that brushing your teeth with baking soda increases your risk of frabjuous cell basocarcinoma by 700%. Your reasonably competent friend is urging you to throw away your baking soda toothpaste. Should you?
2. Your co-worker is preparing a report that compares the average income for several cities and has chosen to use the arithmetic mean to do so. You're concerned about this. Why?
3. Your buddy posts Tyler Vigen’s recent collection of spurious correlations on facebook, with this message: “So much for statistics! I guess you’ll think twice next time you hear about a correlation in the news.” What do you reply?
[Challenge/hint: Don’t say correlation vs causation]
