Lab Manual for Math 37
I have incorporated a laboratory component to my introductory
statistics courses. Students are required to complete weekly
lab writeups explaining the concepts they have seen. The labs
work with larger data sets, data collected by students, and visual
explanations of key concepts. The emphasis is on applying
statistical knowledge and student explanation of results. Our lab
contains 25 Power Mac computers, including Microsoft Word and
the student version of Minitab.
