Today, we had an introductory discussion and greetings, then discussed our syllabus.
Reading: Please read about the optional extra credit opportunities in our syllabus.
Reading: Please read the first few chapters of The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics, which is linked here and also passed out during class.
Next class: we will discuss the projects and cover the first 5 chapters of The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics, but we will probably not cover all 5 chapters on Wednesday.

Today, we started class by discussing projects, then we continued with the following chapters from The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics: Defining familiar terms, Let's collect some data!, Concepts of Structured Data. I gave a brief introduction to the next chapter Kinds of variables, but did not cover it yet.
Reading: Please read Kinds of variables in The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics.
Next class: We will cover the next 3 chapters in The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics, including two additional chapters which I will hand out in class. These chapters will also include homework.

Today we covered Kinds of variables and Distributions in The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics. We then did bar graphs, pie charts and stemplots for visualizing Distributions. We touched on histograms but have not covered them in detail.
