Adriana Esparza · Answer 1

The data is different because history isn't always accurate from either source. The university professors have read the data the could have been changed over time while the website could change too. With the website, information can change at anytime. People could say that either source is the correct one to go by but the one that should be used in a school project should be the professors information. Usually, whatever the teacher says is correct and therefore should be used.
