SynopsisWho is the all-time greatest baseball hitter? How likely is it that a poll is correct? It is smart to buy last year's highest-performing stock? Which hospital has the best outcome for a given procedure? When is it a good idea to buy a product's extended warranty?
I will be teaching an AP Statistics class. So this summer is "Get ready for Statistics class." The last time I saw statistics was 30 years ago in my college statistics class. I am working through the textbook's problem sets while listening to this video series. For me, it is just helpful to HEAR how statistics is explained so that I can use a similar approach when I teach it. The hardest part is the vocabulary. Once I got the vocabulary down, statistics became much easier. For example, mean ... the population mean or the sample mean? That sort of thing.
Professor Starbird is very easy to listen to and he speaks in a very understandable way. I will be ready to teach AP Statistics in the fall.
