| Title of Talk | Intro Stats Project: Handwriting and Gender |
| Abstract | Can you tell the gender of a writer from a sample of handwriting? A simple survey leads provides perhaps surprising answers. The resulting data set proves unexpectedly rich in terms of the number of questions students can ask. Most of the questions are suitable for a first course in statistics for a general audience. (Side questions: Many math departments are asked to teach elementary statistic courses. Is this math? Should it be?) |
