Which kind of logical fallacy sometimes involves using a statistic in a misleading way? appeal to lack of evidence equivocation popular appeal hasty generalization

The answer from the given options is "hasty generalization".

A hasty generalization is a fallacy in which a conclusion isn't intelligently legitimized by adequate or fair-minded proof. Likewise called insufficient sample, converse accident, faulty generalization, one-sided speculation, bouncing to a conclusion, secundum quid, and disregard of capabilities. A hasty generalization is an expansive claim in light of as well constrained confirmation. It is dishonest to attest an expansive claim when you have just narrative or disengaged confirmation or examples.

It would be a "hasty generalization" that sometimes involves using a statistic in a misleading way, since these are usually made by looking at "surface" data, as opposed to looking into the true correlations in the data.
