Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistics are the final word on most issues but not every issue. When making a decision, it is true that numbers do not lie and so it is very hard to refute statistics. Sometimes however, people go against the statistics or rather interpret them in a way they are not to be interpreted thereby negating them.

Other things can go wrong with statistics as well such as research bias. The people doing the research and coming up with the statistics might control the research to make it bring out some biased statistics. People on seeing this, can then go against the numbers.
