The assignments for Concepts in Statistics are typically centered around a dataset that the student uses in conjunction with a statistics package. The activity has the student explore the dataset, generate descriptive statistics and appropriate graphs from the data, and interpret the output. Instructions are provided for five different statistics packages:
- R
- StatCrunch
- Minitab
- Excel
- TI Calculator
If you import this course into your learning management system (Blackboard, Canvas, etc.), the assignments will automatically be loaded into the assignment tool. They can be used as is, modified, or removed. You can preview them below:
