[Marxism] statistics for students?

[Michael Friedman <lycophidion@xxxxxxxxx>]

A friend asked me to teach a course for her this summer, titled, The Nature
of Science. It's a masters level class in the education department at the
City College of N.Y. The students are mostly high school science teachers.
I've basically inherited the syllabus from my friend and modified it a
little. I'd like to do a class on the use, misuse, abuse and non-use of
statistics in science. Can anyone (especially you educators out there)
suggest of an activity to do with students that would highlight how
statistics are misused or how easy it is to skew results or something like
that?

Mike
