Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.59 Media Literacy and Digital Citizenship skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Two outlets report unemployment trends but use different definitions. One uses a narrow measure; the other includes underemployment and discouraged workers. They seem to disagree.

How can you most responsibly compare the claims?

APick the headline you like best.

BAssume both are lying.

CIgnore definitions because numbers are numbers.

DCheck which definition each outlet uses, compare the same metric over the same time period, and consult the original official statistics and definitions.

Solution & Explanation:Different measures can legitimately show different things. Comparing the same definition and time period and checking original data helps you evaluate which claim matches the evidence.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

You ask a chatbot for sources about a topic. It lists several articles with realistic titles, but when you try to find them, they do not exist.

What is the best practice when using AI tools for research?

AVerify each cited source by opening it and cross-checking, and do not rely on sources you cannot confirm.

BTrust the chatbot because it sounds confident.

CCopy the list into your bibliography without checking.

DAssume any source with a long title must be real.

Solution & Explanation:AI tools can produce plausible but incorrect citations. The safe research practice is to open and verify each source, just as you would verify any claim online.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A nutrition influencer cites a study that tested many different outcomes. Only one outcome was 'significant' at p = 0.049, and the study does not mention correcting for multiple comparisons.

What is the strongest reason to be skeptical of the influencer's claim?

AAll nutrition research is fake.

Bp-values are illegal.

CTesting many outcomes increases the chance of a false positive; without corrections or replication, one borderline result may be chance.

DNumbers in studies are always wrong.

Solution & Explanation:When many hypotheses are tested, some results can appear significant by luck. Corrections and replication help ensure the finding is real and not a statistical fluke.
