Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.43 Media and Information Landscapes skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A chart of “global sea level” uses a thick line with no confidence interval. The underlying measurement combines tide gauges and satellites with known calibration steps.

Which visualization addition would most improve scientific honesty for non-experts?

ARemove axis labels to reduce confusion.

BMake the line thicker and brighter.

CInclude uncertainty bands and a brief note about measurement methods and calibration to avoid implying perfect precision.

DShow only the latest data point.

Solution & Explanation:Sea level estimates include measurement uncertainty. Showing ranges and method notes improves interpretation without requiring advanced math.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A post claims “AI wrote this report so it must be unbiased.” The report summarizes a conflict using only sources from one country’s state media.

Which analysis best addresses the claim?

AAI cannot be biased because it is not human.

BAI outputs can inherit bias from source selection; using one-sided sources can produce a biased summary even if generated automatically.

CSource selection does not matter if AI writes it.

DState media is always false.

Solution & Explanation:Bias can enter through which sources are included, how they frame events, and what is omitted—even with automated summarization.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A graph compares “global CO₂ reductions” across industries. One industry shows a large percent reduction, but its baseline emissions were tiny.

Which analysis best explains why the percent reduction can be misleading alone?

ASmall baselines make percent changes less meaningful for impact.

BPercent changes always equal absolute changes.

CIf baseline is small, the reduction is impossible.

DPercent change can overstate impact when the baseline is small; absolute reductions are needed to judge real contribution.

Solution & Explanation:Impact depends on how many tons are reduced, not just the percentage; both metrics together give a fairer picture.
