Reading charts and graphs, interpreting data, and making decisions based on the information are key skills to being a successful worker and an informed citizen. Being an informed citizen includes understanding statistics and probability as well. Adults cannot make reasonable decisions unless they understand from where the statistics come. Charts and graphs are essential in the workplace. Data from charts and graph are used to make decisions. Graph are useful tools in that they organize data so the information becomes clearer. This organized information can then be used to craw conclusions, to make decisions, or to influence others. Data is organized in a variety of fashions, from charts and graphs, to computer-generated spreadsheets. Data collection, analysis, and graphing are essential in the workplace. Many industries, manufacturing in particular, now use statistical control processes to monitor their processes in order to ensure quality products. Often the front line employee is required to collect the data used for charting the manufacturing process; therefore, employees at all levels should be knowledgeable about and comfortable with using a variety of charts. As more and more quality teams, consisting of a variety of employees, are charged with the task of ensuring quality products, employees will need to have an understanding of probability and sampling.

83. About Probability And Statistics Theory of probability is specialy significiant in statistics inference, statistics became an integral part of developed country activities and need for http://statlab.fon.bg.ac.yu/eng/eng/newseng/overovatnocieng.htm

About probability Since XVII century, when foudations of Theory of probability have been placed, until present days, it is subject of researching for many different scientists. It is so relevant in a modern society, because of its significant help in approaching and complete recognizing of different problems in science. Although importance of probability is not controversial, there are discussions all the time about its theoretical bases. Philosophers, mathematicians, statisticians and others are engaged in those discussions. Theory of probability is specialy significiant in statistics inference, which is established on its bases. We can tell that two main reasons have contributed to appearance of interest in probability and development of its mathematical bases. The first reason came from mathematical problems in games of chance. In XVIII century Swiss mathematician Bernuli set theoretical bases of probability as one mathematical discipline. Some time later that development advanced in Laplas' works, with his determine way of understanding the world. He said that probability is an integral part of natural science, as theory of mistakes, based on systematic enviroment studying and its variability in repeated measurings. In theory development Gauss' contribution is valuable through works in field of normal mistakes law.

Packard University of West Georgia March 17, 2005 The keys to effectively teaching statistics are clarifying relevance of the content to the students and involving students in the process of their own learning. This book is not intended for students but for the teachers of high school and college courses in statistics, describing methods to incorporate in their classes. Most instructors or professors teaching statistics gather a few stories and activities to make certain concepts teachable. Over the years, the authors, Gelman and Nolan, have collected and developed tools, tricks and examples to aid instruction. There are more than 100 activities for courses in introductory statistics as well as activities for advanced courses. Part One: Introductory Probability and Statistics From the second chapter and beyond, concepts of probability and an overview using class participation demonstrations and examples are outlined.

Grade 5 - Statistics and Probability (Chance and Uncertainty) The sub-organizer contains the following sections: Prescribed Learning Outcomes Suggested Instructional Strategies Suggested Assessment Strategies Recommended Learning Resources PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will predict outcomes, conduct experiments, and communicate the probability of single events. It is expected that students will: list all possible outcomes of an event explain events using the vocabulary of probability: best/worst probable/improbable never/less likely/equally likely likely/more likely/always conduct probability experiments and explain the results using the vocabulary of probability conduct probability experiments to demonstrate that results are not influenced by factors such as the age, experience, or skill of the participant To view the prescribed learning outcomes for Statistics and Probabilities (Chance and Uncertainty) in other grades click on an icon below. SUGGESTED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES Chance and uncertainty are of interest to students because they apply to the games that they play. Activity-based co-operative grouping works well as an instructional approach. Through their own experiences, students build critical-thinking skills that help them make decisions in situations of uncertainty.

CORE CURRICULUM DATA COLLECTION, GRAPHING, PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS “Because of society's expanding use of data for predicting and decision making, it is important that students develop an understanding of the concepts and processes used in translating information into useful knowledge. Students need to explore the basic concepts of Statistics and Probability by gathering data appropriate to their grade level, organizing these data into charts or graphs and reading information from displays of data. Statistics and Probability regularly involve the use of number, measurement, estimation and problem solving, and are important links to other topics within mathematics and other content areas, such as social studies and science. Statistics and Probability can also reinforce communication skills as students discuss their activities and their conclusions both orally and in writing. The entire process broadens the student's view of mathematics and its usefulness." -from the Florida K-5 Mathematics Curriculum Project One way of organizing and manipulating data which is not mentioned above is the use of matrices. This is introduced in 6-8. It is a topic from Discrete math which can be integrated here.

I have been a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Bowling Green State University since 1979. I've had two sabbaticals: 1986-87 at the University of Southampton (England) and 1994-95 at Duke University. My Academic Interests: Click here if you want to see a list of my publications and technical reports. Bayesian inference. Bayesian statistics is based on two ideas. First, uncertainty about unknown quantities is expressed using the language of subjective probability, and, given new information or data, probabilities are updated using Bayes rule. I believe that Bayesian inferential methods have advantages over classical statistical procedures for a wide range of inferential problems. I'm particularly interested in developing inferential procedures for the class of generalized linear models. Recently, I've written papers on how to check the goodness of a model from a Bayesian viewpoint. The analysis of sports data.
