Description
This workbook was written to support an introduction to statistical methods for all science students. It can be used in class with collaborative exercises or at home for self-study.
Dr. Kathrine Johnson received her PhD in Applied Probability from the University of Idaho and now teaches math at Boise State University. She teaches statistics and encourages students to learn statistical reasoning to help them understand how important these skills are throughout their life past graduation.
1) Each section begins with a “Getting Started” content section and Pre-Activity questions
2) Application activities have scaffolded questions to enhance learning through application of newly acquired knowledge
