I think that statistics have a place in society, and that they can be useful and helpful in society, but that they are not necessary. We could all live without surveys, however useful they can occasionally be. I personally find it annoying when i get a random call asking to do a survey, but I do understand their purpose.
After reading the article, I thought a lot about how we shouldn`t be fooled by false statistics. Lots of people also end up making biased opinions, which is not good in surveys. There are lots of unfair and injustice questions.
Some of the problems are:
Unfair questions
Biased answers
Misleading questions
Faulty statistics.
These are all problems because they can lead to false results
