Numeracy Questions!!! [Milo Schield, 7/2017]
1) Eight Men have Half the World's Wealth
Which is this? (1) "Half of all the wealth in the world" or (2) the wealth of "half the world" or
"half the world's population"? What do your students think?
If it is #2, is it (a) "the wealth of the poorer half" or (b) "the wealth of the richer half"?
If (2a), is it misleading to omit mentioning the "poorer half"?
Could the richest 8 men have the same wealth as the richest half of the world's population?
2) US 2014 abortion rate lowest in last 10 years
