Description
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.

| 14 | Video16a.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. | 11/8/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |
| 15 | Video15b.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. | 11/8/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |
| 16 | Video14.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. | 10/25/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |
| 17 | Video13.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 involving z scores and boxplots.We review how to find outliers as well. | 10/25/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |
| 18 | Video12.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. | 10/25/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |
| 19 | Video16.Chebyshev's inequality extra practice | This is a clip from a live classrooom where we work through a homework problem together involving Chebyshev's theorem. | 10/25/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |
| 20 | Video15.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. | 10/25/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |

| 22 | Video11.Z scores, percentiles, boxplots(lesson 5) | In this lesson we will explore the definiton of a z score and how that relates to percentile rank. We will also explore a data set to see if there are any outliers in the data. To determine if there are outliers we will create a modified boxplot on a TI-83 but we will also use the fence criterion.

| 30 | Video04. Histogram; made on graphing calculator | In this podcast we take a data set and create a histogram on the TI-83 to display the income distribution and discuss the shape of the distribution. Sometimes you can tell whether a distribution is skewed right , skewed left, or fairly symmetric just by looking at a histogram but sometimes it's not that obvious. | 9/20/2022 | Free | View in iTunes |
| 31 | Video01. Introduction to statistics and data displays | Why do we need to learn and study statistics? In this podcast I begin to answer that question and I introduce some statistical jargon and terminolgy and provide an intro to ways of displaying data.
