What is misleading statistics -

The statistics are the numeric dataset that can be of anything. The examples of statistic datasets are -

(1) dataset of a total number of people in each house of society.

(2) dataset of rental houses in every city.

If anyone uses this dataset to misuse or mislead people, then this is called misleading statistics. Misleading statistics is the wrong dataset that is not related to reality and developed to mislead others.

In most cases, this type of dataset is only used for testing purposes and to remove wrong data from them using a correct algorithm.
