8. 1 - 8 Misleading Statements  China’s total CO2 emissions are higher than America’s, so the Chinese are worse polluters.  Problem: Since there are many more Chinese than Americans, the per capita emissions are higher for Americans.  The government receives more of its total revenue from middle class Americans than from the rich, so the rich are under taxed.  Problem: There are many more middle class Americans. The rich are actually taxed at a higher rate. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

11. 1 - 11 Anecdotal Evidence is not Science An Anecdote is a story that a single individual tells about his or her own experience. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

12. 1 - 12 Observational Studies An Observational Study uses groups that are already created and records the differences.  If an outcome occurs more often with one of the groups than with the other, we say that the treatment and outcome are associated.

13. 1 - 13 Association is not Causation  People with grey hair are observed to have more wrinkles. This does not mean that grey hair causes wrinkles.  A confounding variable is a characteristic other than the treatment that causes both outcomes. For example, old age causes both grey hair and wrinkles. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

14. 1 - 14 Controlled Experiment A controlled experiments is an experiment where each individual is assigned to either the control group or the treatment group.  The Treatment Group are the individuals who receive the treatment  The Control Group are the individuals who do not receive the treatment.

16. 1 - 16 Blind and Double Blind Study  A blind study is a control study where the participants do not know whether they are in the control group or the treatment group.  A double blind study is a blind study where the person administering treatment also does not know who is in the control group and who is in the treatment group.

18. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Chapter 1: Case Study Deadly Cell Phones

19. 1 - 19 Case Study  Dr. Christopher Newman sued claiming that cell phone use caused his brain tumor.  Suit cited a TV show where a man’s wife used a cell phone often and died of a brain tumor.  Suit also cited a study of people who recovered from brain tumors.  The study found a high percent of cell phone users from the brain tumor inflicted population. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

20. 1 - 20 Anecdotal Evidence  Citing a single person as evidence that cell phone use causes brain tumors is anecdotal evidence.  One cannot conclude anything about the whole population from anecdotal evidence of a single person.  This piece of the doctor’s argument is completely invalid. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

21. 1 - 21 Problems With the Study Cited  Participants were not assigned to use or not use a cell phone.  Looking at brain cancer survivors only excludes all who did not survive.  A follow-up control study with mice did not agree with the original study Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

22. 1 - 22 Conclusion of Lawsuit  The judge ruled that the evidence was insufficient.  Evidence did not establish a causal relationship between cell phone use and brain tumors.  The judge threw out the case. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.
