The questions on the journal excerpts promote learning by helping students \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• interpret information in tables and figures,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• perform simple calculations to further their interpretations, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• critique data-reporting techniques, and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• evaluate procedures used to collect data. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe questions in each exercise are divided into two parts: (1) Factual Questions and (2) Questions for Discussion. The Factual Questions require careful reading for details, while the discussion questions show that interpreting statistics is more than a mathematical exercise. These questions require students to apply good judgment as well as statistical reasoning in arriving at appropriate interpretations. Each exercise covers a limited number of topics, making it easy to coordinate the exercises with lectures or a traditional statistics textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57312097993086,"sku":"NW9780367561970","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780367561970.jpg?v=1778586476","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/interpreting-basic-statistics-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
