The Story of Statistics

Inquiry based notes for introductory statistics

Notes for an introductory statistics course emphasizing the process of statistical thinking. Topics include data collection, graphical and numerical summaries, introduction to probability, random variables, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and simple linear regression. A common investigation is woven throughout the notes to provide continuity and hands on activities are used to introduce new concepts.
