discussion 8.2
I find statistics to be helpful esspecially in informative speeches. Statistics can be used as a comparison, or to show a definite problem of things. I also find statistics to be useful to show your credibilty, and back up what you are saying. But, sometimes statistics are not useful in speeches. Audiences can interpret the statistic differently than that of the speaker, and what the speaker is trying to get a across may not get across. The other problem with statistics is that you have to make sure that they are reliable, the facts may be wrong, you have to get facts from a credible source.

Hello Marie! How are you going to use fact/stats in your coming speech? Also, how will you test the reliability of your sources? How do you think audiences view stats/facts? As opposed to how a speaker views them? How can a speaker utilize them to reach their audience rather than turning the audience off when hearing them?
