Workshop — A One-Problem Tour of Statistics
I was excited to run my workshop “A One-Problem Tour of Statistics” for teachers at Math for America in New York City this past week. When I was writing “Painless Statistics” a few years ago, there was one simply-stated problem I kept going back to that continually helped illuminate important statistical ideas for me. I returned to that problem frequently, and each time I came away with a better understanding of sampling distributions, estimators, confidence intervals, and even the debate between frequentism and Bayesianism. This workshop was years in the making, and I was happy to finally be able to share my story, and what I learned, with teachers!
