Title of Talk | Epidemic! Role-Playing in Introductory Statistics |
Abstract | How can we use our statistical knowledge to help save (or at least, inform) the world? I will describe a day from my Introductory Statistics class where students were "hired" by the CDC to help answer questions about a fictional epidemic that was plaguing the Atlanta area. |
