Direct linkWiseman, Frederick – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
This article describes an example which is useful when teaching hypothesis testing in order to highlight the interrelationships that exist among the level of significance, the sample size and the statistical power of a test. The example also allows students to see how what they learn in the classroom directly affects the content of some of the…

Hunt, Neville; Mashhoudy, Houshang – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
The Chart Wizard in Microsoft Excel is supposed to make chart drawing so easy that a child can do it, yet many intelligent adults fail to use it successfully. This article suggests some simple principles that resolve many of the difficulties.

Jones, Gregory Todd; Hagtvedt, Reidar; Jones, Kari – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
In spite of the name, simple linear regression presents a number of conceptual difficulties, particularly for introductory students. This article describes a simulation tool that provides a hands-on method for illuminating the relationship between parameters and sample statistics.

Franklin, Christine A.; Mulekar, Madhuri S. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
This article describes an activity through which students collect data and explore ways to display them through graphs and charts. It also motivates various summary measures for location, spread and shape. Finally, it gives an introduction to concepts of validity, reliability and unbiasedness.

Glaister, Elizabeth M.; Glaister, Paul – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
This article illustrates a method for fitting straight lines to data that is resistant to outliers and might therefore sometimes be preferred to the customary least squares procedure.

Quinn, Robert J. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
This article explores the intuitions of secondary education majors regarding probability. This is accomplished by administering a two-question instrument to 113 participants. Their responses to these questions, and more importantly the explanations they provide for these answers, are analysed. The conclusions drawn may be informative to teachers…

Hayes, Kevin – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
This article demonstrates that the lower bound for the most deviant Z score and the upper bound for the sample standard deviation are attained simultaneously.
