Statistics

These podcasts are for students interested in learning or reviewing topics in an introductory statistics class. Podcast topics include describing and summarizing data both graphically and numerically, probability, various distributions, confidence intervals, tests of significance, and exploration of bivariate data. This show focuses more on practice with using a graphing calculator and Microsoft Excel and less of the formulaic approach. Some of the podcasts are raw (unedited) clips from a live classroom. This course, taught on campus twice per week for 100 minutes, was recorded at the Lancaster Campus of Harrisburg Area Community College. This course requires the use of a graphing calculator such as a TI-83 or TI-84 and Excel.

27. Binomial probalbity distributions

In this video I tell the story of Joy Milne and her ability to smell Parkinson's disease and use part of that story as an intro to learning the characteristics of the binomial probability distribtion. We learn how to create binomial probability distributions using excel and the binomial formula..

16b.compute residuals and make a residual plot in excel(Lesson 7)

In this video I show how easy it is is to compute residuals and make a residual plot in excel.

15a.Correlation and regression using excel(lesson6)

In this video I show a fast and easy way to retrieve the scatterplot and correlation coefficient and examine the strength and direction of the association of a scatter-plot using excel.

17:27

17.Residual plot

In this video I pick a problem from the textbook to work through with you and we calculate residuals and make a residual plot. We then use the residual plot to decide if the linear model is appropriate for the data.You may want to pause the video and enter the data and practice computing residuals along with me.

16a.Residuals and scatterplots

This a live clip from an actual classroom where we learn how to compute residuals using a TI-83 and learn the definition of a residual.I also show how to compute the sum of the squared residuals.

15b.Correlation and regression intro(lesson6)

In this lesson we explore the association between two variable via looking at scatter-plots and computing the correlation coefficient. This is shown using a TI-83.Lesson6 guided notes.

14.Boxplot,Histogram, and Chebyshev's theorem extra practice

This is a clip from a live classroom where we do a warm up problem together and review how to numerically and graphichally summarize a data set via making a boxplot and histogram on TI-83 and we use the TI-83 to gather numerical descriptors.

13.z-scores, quartiles, and boxplots extra practice II

This is a clip form a live classroom where I work through some problems in the textbook involvingz scores and boxplots.We review how to find outliers as well.

12.Z scores and boxplots extra practice I

In this video I pull a couple of examples out of our textbook to work through (for extra practice)involving z scores and boxplots.

15.Empirical rule and Chebyshev's inequality-extra practice

This is a clip fom a live classroom where we work on some problems together out of the textbook and practice using Empirical rule and Chebyshev's inequaltiy.
