Using Real-World Examples to Enhance the Relevance of the Introductory Statistics Course

Using Real-World Examples to Enhance the Relevance of the Introductory Statistics Course
Source: Social Science Research Network
This paper discusses various cases, stories, and examples involving the use of statistics that can add excitement to an introductory statistics course. Teaching statistics as a mathematics course does not work for students interested in careers in business and accounting. What is needed, the authors feel, are attention-grabbing examples. The authors provide instructors with interesting material for making a statistics course exciting and relevant.
