Good first podcast. Max, in particular, had some great insights into the readings.
Don’t forget, your post should also include the following:
<ul>
<li>Group members present during the discussion</li>
<li>What your club discussed</li>
<li>How you discussed it</li>
<li>Any points of conflict/disagreement in discussion</li>
<li>Questions that came up as a result of the discussion</li>
</ul>
For next time, please respond to the following questions:
<ol>
<li>Choose one of the quotations inside the front cover and discuss how it relates to the Introduction.</li>
<li>Put the second paragraph on Page 18 (“A river cannot….”) into your own words.</li>
<li>What is the advantage of a stratified random sample and what difficulties does it pose, according to this chapter?</li>
<li>Which kind of “average” (statisticians call all three “measures of central tendency”) would give me the best way to compare the performance of two classes of a required math course? Why?</li>
<li>What does the author mean on Page 45 when he says, “Hardly anybody is exactly normal in any way…?”</li>
</ol>
Finally, when discussing chapters 3, 5, or 6, incorporate the following article into your discussion:
Also, each member of your group should find an article online containing a misleading graph and discuss it during the podcast (be sure to talk about why it’s misleading!). Be sure to include a link to all articles in the text of your post of the podcast that corresponds to chapters 3, 5, or 6.
