A stat that is potentially mis-leading, used with the intention of playing off of fear-based emotional reactions (pathos), used to support an idea. This idea, requiring deceptive support, is likely flawed. A scare stat has hidden truth (or is a twisted version of truth) which the author of the scare stat hopes you will overlook, as most people do.

Laughably easy AP test, second in easiness only to AP Psych. The class involves a bunch of z-, t-, binomial, and chi-squared distributions (i.e. assume a bunch of impractical BS, like on the AP physics exam, look up a value in a table, add a sentence our two). Generally taken by people who want to get out of their college math requirement without taking calculus.
