Offering a unique and powerful way to introduce the principles of statistical reasoning, our textbook Statistical Reasoning in Sports features engaging examples and a student-friendly approach. Starting from the very first chapter, students are able to ask questions, collect and analyze data, and draw conclusions using randomization tests. Is it harder to shoot free throws with distractions? We explore this question by designing an experiment, collecting the data, and using a hands-on simulation to analyze results.

  • I sent an email out at 3pm on 8/18/2020 to all students enrolled in my classes. That email contained the Zoom link and Google Classroom code for your class. If you are in my class and didn't get that email, email me at kcarroll@eanesisd.net so I can get you that information. Look forward to seeing you in class.
