Basic Statistics At Work!

I knew my 100-level statistics class would be useful, but I didn't think I would be using it in my internship! Someone at the office distributed the results of a survey to everyone in the editing team. The charts and numbers made sense, for the most part. There was one question that seemed to have conflicting results, however. I looked at it, trying to remember what I learned in that statistics class. Then I came to a conclusion and shared it with the editor. My suggestion turned out to be very helpful and the results made sense. I am grateful to have background knowledge in basic statistical principles. It has proved useful in figuring out what is true and what is misleading.
