Undergraduate Statistics Computation Laboratory

学生们在与他们的第一门本科统计学课程相结合的新开发的实验课程中，经历了样本选择、数据收集、实验设计、随机化、统计模型开发等重要的统计活动。在这样做的过程中，他们对应用统计在科学调查中的作用以及专业统计学家所做的工作类型有了牢固的理解。该实验室引导学生通过简单但有意义的实验来说明应用统计学的重要概念。在每节课中，学生们讨论并执行一个实验，收集和使用计算机分析数据，并写一份报告。

Students are experiencing important statistical activities of sample selection, data collection, experimental design, randomization, development of statistical models, in a newly developed laboratory course taken in conjunction with their first undergraduate statistics course. In doing so, they are gaining a firm understanding of the role of applied statistics in scientific investigations and the type or work that professional statisticians do. The lab guides the student through simple, but meaningful, experiments which illustrate important concepts from applied statistics. In each session, the students discuss and perform an experiment, collect and use computers to analyze the data, and write a report.
