Give an example of unethical statistical practice.

Unethical statistical practice is a wicked act performed by a researcher where he/she eliminates a few information not attaining requirements. Due to this, the conclusions drawn about the population will remain incorrect, affecting the policies framed by the policymakers based on the conclusions.

By referring to the example, it can be expounded that a researcher can manipulate a particular year’s sales figure in order to conduct the research in his/her desired way.For example, if the researcher finds out that a particular year’s sales have drastically dropped due to any reason, thus for the sake of attaining research objectives, the researcher here can increase the figure just to draw proper conclusions. As a result, the researcher might attain the objectives, but the analysis drawn about the data is wrong and so it is regarded as unethical statistical practice.
