The purpose of this course is to develop an understanding of the basic ideas of statistical reasoning. It seeks to expose students to statistical techniques used in the media and create informed consumers of statistics. It expects the student to actively think about statistical issues.

During the quarter, I will add new items. Please check here every week.
