Lie Factor

• Lie factor = Size of effect shown/size of effect in data•  

– What is the actual growth from 18 to 27.5 mpg?– (27.5-18)/18=.53– A growth of 53%

•   – Represented by a growth of – 0.6 inches to 5.3 inches – 5.3-0.6/0.6=7.83 – A growth of 783%

•  • A Lie Factor of

•  • 7.83/.53=14.8
