The questions on the journal excerpts promote learning by helping students \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• interpret information in tables and figures,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• perform simple calculations to further their interpretations, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• critique data-reporting techniques, and \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• evaluate procedures used to collect data. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517566038390,"sku":"9780367560515","price":253.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37587602_56765ab8-2982-4073-b8b7-8c40c6fa563a.jpg?v=1762190123","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367560515-interpreting-basic-statistics","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
