Stats Q4 BM Podcast 2

Posted by Raz Reed in Statistics - Miles - B on Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at 7:18 pm

Group members present during this discussion: Raz Reed, William Amari, Edgar Pacio.

What your club discussed: During our second podcast (which is the combination of all four of these files, sorry), we discussed chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7.

How you discussed it: We first answered questions from our viewers (Mr. Miles), then summarized each chapter and the examples given in them. We incorporated the misleading statistics example from the article Mr. Miles gave us into the discussion and we found our own to talk about.

Points of conflict/disagreement during the discussion: I disagreed with Will and Edgar on which average one should use to compare the students of two math classes. They said that mode is best, I said that mean is best.

​Questions that came up as a result of the discussion: What other types of statistical manipulation are there?

How to Lie with Statistics Podcast #2, Spells, Britton, Ingram, Simmons

Posted by Reginald Simmons in Statistics - Miles - B on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 10:20 am

Link to podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQcPHlhdjlo

Group members present: Ashley Spells, Bailey Britton, Timothy Ingram, Reginald Simmons (all of us). 

What we discussed: chapters three, four, and five (questions we had, things we agreed or disagreed with, were confused about, etc.). 

The form of our discussion: we had an open discussion in which any group member could call out or respond to others' reflections. We tried to make sure that everyone spoke for at least a few minutes during the podcast. 

Conflicts, disagreements: we still haven't really had any of those. Any points of confusion within the discussion were dealt with by other group members,  just like last time. We all agreed with each other, for the most part. 

Questions that came up as a result of the discussion: I guess one question that we had was, "how can we be mindful of all these tricks that people use to get what they want?"

We'll respond to the questions and discuss the article given to us and the ones we found on our own in our next podcast, when we discuss chapters six through ten.
