A lot of good discussion, but you got off topic occasionally. If you had given me more time to respond, I would have asked you to please respond to the following prompts:
Choose one of the quotations inside the front cover and discuss how it relates to the Introduction.
Put the second paragraph on Page 18 (“A river cannot….”) into your own words.
What is the advantage of a stratified random sample and what difficulties does it pose, according to chapter 1?
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?
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.
