When we tried to upload we kept getting an error message. So we thought that it would be easier for us to upload the chapters to Youtube and share the link. Also, we had to record chapter 1 on a different file that is why there is two different links.

Chapter 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3diJSwW3nZ0

Chapters 2 & 3: http://youtu.be/Fexu4Z00Qq0

When discussing chapters 3 (if you discuss it more in a future podcast), 5, or 6, incorporate the following article into your discussion:

Also, each member of your group should find an article online containing a misleading graph and discuss it during the podcast (be sure to talk about why it’s misleading!). Be sure to include a link to all articles in the text of your post of the podcast that corresponds to chapters 3, 5, or 6.

Great first discussion (though you skipped discussing the introduction). Also, there were quite a few distracting background noises (especially in your chapter 1 discussion). for your next discussion, be sure to respond to the following prompts:

  1. Choose one of the quotations inside the front cover and discuss how it relates to the Introduction.
  2. Put the second paragraph on Page 18 (“A river cannot….”) into your own words.
  3. What is the advantage of a stratified random sample and what difficulties does it pose, according to this chapter?
  4. Which kind of “average” (statisticians call all three “measures of central tendency”) would give me the best way to compare the performance of two classes of a required math course? Why?
