which three questions should you answer \yes\ to when analyzing your use of statistics in a speech?

□ are my numbers from reliable sources?

□ do i give exact numbers to several decimal points?

□ do i use statistics to quantify my ideas?

□ do i relate the statistics to the audience?

Explanation:

1. Reliable sources ensure statistics are credible and trustworthy for a speech.
2. Statistics should serve to quantify and support core ideas, making claims concrete.
3. Relating statistics to the audience helps them connect with and understand the relevance of the data.

Providing overly precise decimal points is unnecessary for most speeches and can confuse audiences, so this is not a key yes question.

Answer:

• Are my numbers from reliable sources?
• Do I use statistics to quantify my ideas?
• Do I relate the statistics to the audience?
