Data don’t lie, but they could be misleading: understanding biases in data science

What can you infer if I tell you that the mean monthly income of 10 people in a room is RM10,000? You might conclude that these 10 people could be top level managers who fall under the T20 category in Malaysia. Fair enough, but what if I tell you that 1 out of the 10 people is earning RM90,000 per month since he is running several businesses? Well, if you do the mathematics quickly, you might arrive at a completely different conclusion with this additional clue since the mean monthly income of the remaining 9 people in the room is now RM1,111 instead of RM10,000. This is one of the common pitfalls in using summary statistics such as an arithmetic mean when you have outlier bias in a small dataset.
