1-800 Generalization Now

Once concept that I found useful and interesting from Chapter 14 was the first section about generalizing. This section provided an excellent platform for what the whole chapter was about. This section was one of the easier one to grasp this semester. The examples used were easy to follow and provided great support to the rest of the material. This section has made me realize how much we do generalize each day. Not only that, I never realized how much people generalize when it comes to statistics. It kind of ties in with the previous chapter about misleading numbers and claims. Distinguishing between the population and sample was a little hard at first but with the examples as well as the exercises for this particular section help me really understand it. I am now able to recognize whether a generalization is good or bad. I really enjoyed this section of the chapter.
