I've just been teaching my 6th graders about polls and data in math class.

I can make a poll say anything I want it to. That's why they are unscientific. The answers are dependant on how the question is put forth.

For instance....

I ask a group of men,

"If lost, how many of you would immediately stop and ask directions?"

I could then ask the same group of men, "If lost, how many of you would be sensible enough to stop and ask directions?"

Answers would change quickly. This does not tell us how many men would ask for directions if lost.

Good point Shellie, see in BOTH questions she is assuming that men get lost. How are we supposed to answer if we are men who do not get lost?

What is this word, directions?

I may get "turned around", but never lost.

as for this glass poll????

[Poimen]

The truth is the glass is both. It is half full and half empty at the same time.

[Mister Ed]

If you are not going to put anything else in that glass, the top half is useless. Cut it off and the glass left holding the liquid will be full.

[Brenda]

Well, I know how I feel about the situation.

[Shellie]

Okay, so when you get "turned around", are you half lost or half found?

I'm sure glad no one has made any comments.

I was thinking the same thing

[Ilovebigcats]

So your saying it's a negative thing that this post is full of comments. Most people would be thrilled to have a post they started make it to 2 pages. How pessimistic of you! *made her point quite nicely*

[doilooklost]

I am not lost I just look like it

How can comment about not making comments and it not be a comment?
