Required study for most college majors – including economics, psychology and math – statistics is also useful for anyone interested in the science of probability and mathematical prediction. Whether you need help understanding your statistics homework or you’re studying for the AP Statistics Exam, the Standard Deviants illustrate the topics you’ll need to succeed – from mean, median and mode to graphing and Type I errors. We won’t guarantee that you’ll break the bank in Vegas, but you’ll definitely learn a lot! BONUS: Special guest host Donny Most (Ralph Malph of “Happy Days” fame)! (9 x 26:00)

Statistics Tricks
The Standard Deviants lighten your laughter, sooth your suffering, and refine your reasoning. You’ll find out how to employ the empirical rule, command the confidence coefficient, and exercise the error of estimation. And you’ll learn what we call the meanest of the mean: the mean of the sampling distribution.

Statistic Errors
The Standard Deviants cover null hypotheses, go over the different types of hypothesis tests, and slay the two-headed tyrant of terror, type I and type II errors. Our old friend the z-score makes a reappearance, and so does his compatriot, the t-statistic.

Random Variables
The Standard Deviants cover discrete and continuous random variables like Baryshnikov covers the dance floor. Languish not though, for variance, standard deviation, and other linchpins of statistical learning will also present themselves for your enjoyment. So gather your favorite beverage, and tip up your chair.
