A Case Study in Elementary Statistics: The Florida Panther Population
Lazowski, Andrew; Stopper, Geffrey
PRIMUS, v23 n3 p247-256 2013
We describe a case study that was created to intertwine the fields of biology and mathematics. This project is given in an elementary probability and statistics course for non-math majors. Some goals of this case study include: to expose students to biology in a math course, to apply probability to real-life situations, and to display how far a semester's worth of mathematics can reach. This was done by exploring the Florida panther population. We will discuss various aspects of the case study and results from administering this project. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
