    DP2 TOK – 15 September Task Sheet 

     
    Chosen Title 
    1.  “Statistics conceal as much as they reveal.”
     
     
    2. My Initial impression of the title and why I think I am interested  
     
     I feel that the title relates to the AOKs of Math, Human Sciences, and Natural
    Sciences. However, as statistics is used in everyday life, the scope for investigating
    the title broadens out to several other AOKs. I am interested in this title as I am
    deeply interested in statistics, and feel that this title has the potential to be explored
    in detail.
    - “statistics conceal as much as they reveal.”
    - In simple terms, the title reflects that statistics can be associated with
    negative implications, along with positive implications
     
     
     
    3. Implied knowledge claim that I found interesting  
     
     Statistics are often misused to conceal information
     
     
     
     
    4. Three Questions to explore the implications of the claim from different
    perspectives

    - how are statistics misused? / how do we know when statistics are misused?
    - Why are statistics misused? (personal benefit?)
