Statistics is one subject I have always tried to stay away from. After reviewing many websites from my course Kin 710 online. I have learned that statics is very beneficial to everything we do, and research. I wish I had these websites sooner, but better late than never.
The following information I will be sharing with you is from my course Kin 710: By Professor Sailor at Fresno Pacific University:
Resources for Teaching and Learning about Probability and Statistics. ERIC Digest. (http://www.ericdigests.org/2000-2/resources.htm)
As increased use of technology and the empirical sciences spreads throughout the global community, the use of data and graphs to communicate information is ever increasing. Daily decision making and discussions of social issues are increasingly influenced by statistics and projected outcomes based on estimated probabilities. Unfortunately, most high school graduates have little or no background in the mathematics associated with calculating probabilities and interpreting statistics. Therefore, in order for our students to be adequately prepared to make informed decisions, schools need to provide greater attention to probability and statistics in mathematics and other courses. Numerous educators (NCTM, 1989; NRC, 1989; Shaughnessy, 1992) have recommend the introduction of concepts related to probability and statistics throughout the school years for all students, not just those students bound for college.
Statistics in Sports (http://www.amstat.org/sections/sis/)
I provide this link. I thought many of you would find this interesting. Who knows, you might be able to use some of the data.
Statistics and Statistical Graphics Resources (http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/StatResource.html)
This is a list of hundreds of useful links compiled by a professor at York University. I would take a look at it. You should probably also bookmark it so you can find it later if you need some clarification regarding a particular statistical method or a tutorial on how to operate various statistical packages.
Free Statistical Analysis Software by David Lane (http://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/Statistical_analyses.html) - links to many tools on the internet.
StatPages.net - Free Statistical Software (http://statpages.org/javasta2.html) - Good table listing lots of tools and which are free vs. semi-free.
