The questions on the journal excerpts promote learning by helping students \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- interpret information in tables and figures, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- perform simple calculations to further their interpretations, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- critique data-reporting techniques, and \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- evaluate procedures used to collect data. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe questions in each exercise are divided into two parts: (1) Factual Questions and (2) Questions for Discussion. The Factual Questions require careful reading for details, while the discussion questions show that interpreting statistics is more than a mathematical exercise. These questions require students to apply good judgment as well as statistical reasoning in arriving at appropriate interpretations. Each exercise covers a limited number of topics, making it easy to coordinate the exercises with lectures or a traditional statistics textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zealure C.
