TOPIC: ARGUMENT200 - Statistics collected from dentists indicate that three times more men than women faint while visiting the dentist. This evidence suggests that men are more likely to be distressed about having dental work done than women are. Thus, dentists who advertise to attract patients should target the male consumer and emphasize both the effectiveness of their anesthetic techniques and the sensitivity of their staff to nervous or suffering patients.

This memo claims that dentists should focus on male consumers since men feel more norvous when visiting the dentist. This claim relies on a statistics which shows that men are more likely to faint than women in term of visiting the dentist. After close scrunized the statistics, I find it hardly lends credible support to the author's claim.

To begin with, the result of the statistics is doubtable since the author failed to provide adequate information about it. How many men and women patients are involved? How did this statistics conducted? Lacking such information, it is entirely possible that the number of male patients is three time as many as female patients. If so, even the average rate of faint equals, the inOr perhaps,  the number of patients involved  is not more than 50 respetively, thus it may not represent the general patients. Unless the author provides additional datail of the statistics, I can not acception any conclusion on the basis of it.
