Discussion: Begin Your Yellowdig DiscussionStatistically Speaking

Post something to the discussion board related to the content we are looking at this week. For each post, be succinct (using no more than 75 words). Also, feel free to explore the features of Yellowdig, such as the ability to embed videos and pictures, create polls, use hashtags, like or love a post, and so on.

Here are some ideas for your post to get you started:

• Numbers Are Our Friend: Think of a time you were happy and/or proud that involved numbers. It doesn't have to involve math or statistics, just a number (such as the largest tip you got, your best time running a mile, or anything that involved a number). In your post, share the highlights of this moment.
• In the News: Find an article that uses statistics in the popular press (such as The New York Times, CNN, Psychology Today). Share a link to your source and a short summary of the source. Also, discuss why the article made the news and why the statistics were important.
• Our Video Library: We all learn in different ways. Luckily, with the Internet, we can seek out resources that meet our individual learning style. If you find a video (or another resource) that helps you learn statistics, share it on Yellowdig. Include the link and a short summary of the resource. Share how the resource helped you. Lastly, include a hashtag to make it easier to find later (such as #centraltendancyvideo).
• Let's Laugh: Find a joke or meme related to any of the topics covered in this week's readings. Share the joke or meme in your post, then connect the humor to the content you've learned this week (explain why it was funny).
