The Nature of Statistics Project: The Titanic Disaster

The Internet Projects Page is designed to help you understand statistics by analyzing real data and interacting with graphical demonstrations of statistical concepts. projects image

Each chapter project provides a set of simulations, demonstrations, and other activities to supplement your textbook. The material you will see here comes from universities, individuals, and companies from all over the world. You can use these internet projects to find data sources on the internet and to view interactive demonstrations and animations of the statistical concepts covered here and in your textbook. Each section covers a case study and provides tools to help you explore the data.

more information on the text     'Introductory Statistics' Weiss Introductory Statistics provides a solid introduction to statistics for students in one-semester or two-semester courses. Students learn the core statistical concepts in an applied setting, and can access more advanced topics (multiple regression, ANOVA, and Experimental Design) through chapters available on a custom or modular basis. The fifth edition is useful and reality-based, employing technological tools such as Minitab Release 12, the TI-83 graphic calculator, Excel, and the Internet to investigate statistical problems.
