Statistical Questions from the Classroom
J. Michael Shaughnessy, Beth Chance
An excellent small book covering 11 short discussions of statistical questions commonly asked by students and teachers alike, such as: What is a margin of error? What is the difference between a sample and a sampling distribution? Why are deviations squared? What is a p-value?
Some questions involve major concepts in statistics, while others deal with more technical aspects of the mathematics in statistical theory. The explanations include plenty of examples and visual representations, and offer teachers quick insight and support in understanding issues and explaining ideas to students.
