Statistics Fun
Yes, I do believe it is possible to have fun with statistics. Like any language, it needs to be used in real-world contexts to understand when and how to use it. This week, in my publication of Sight, a student psychology newsletter(www.psitutor.org), I included a link to a simulation of use for practicing stats.
I discovered that I can grow grass really well, and am just as successful at breeding rabbits (last count births were at 71, 706). Unfortunately, a couple of times I set parameters that killed my simulated rabbits and wolves within 10 seconds.
I recommend the site to get familiar with reading graphs, determining probability and running the basic stats of mean, median and mode. I’ll keep practicing too…
