Bad Data, and Good Data turned Bad


 



This data shows the age of the men that visited the doctor the first time in the Tuskegee experiment. This graph is interesting because you can see the almost 400 subjects that were in this experiment and their ages at the beginning of this disease. Although the data is good the graph is hard to read and see how many men were each age.

This shows the deaths of the individuals without syphilis the “control group” in the Tuskegee experiment over the 40 years that the experiment was conducted. This graph is not helpful because mostly these control individuals pass away from natural problems not syphilis.

  1. Rachel, I don't see the actual graphs. You need to click on "Save as" on the image, so they download to your computer, then Insert/Upload them into the post. I also want to see a bit more of a discussion about the actual structure of the graph and the reliability of sources, since this is practice for the final project writeup.
    I didn't realize I hadn't inserted your URL in the tab until now, sorry about that! I will make sure to tell people next lesson to comment on your posts so far.
