Question

As a source the reporter uses a graph that states the average number of firearms per owner is 4.5. If the reporter created a headline that every person in the united states owns more than 2 firearms. Should the editor accept the headline ? I am thinking no, because it is not giving the amount of firearm owners that was polled, which would need to be compared to the amount of adults in the United States. Am I correct or incorrect ? am I missing anything

Answer 1

You're right.

We have no idea from this information how many gun owners there are in the United States.

Answer 2

thanks
