Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, v28 n1 p38-42 2014
There are many different aspects of statistics. Statistics involves mathematics, computing, and applications to almost every field of endeavour. Each aspect provides an opportunity to spark someone's interest in the subject. In this paper we discuss some ethical aspects of statistics, and describe how an introduction to ethics has been incorporated into teaching elementary statistical methods at La Trobe University, Bendigo.
