Abstract:
The teaching of basic statistics course can be greatly enhanced with the use of widely available statistical software. Pocket calculators can relieve some of the computational drudgery of statistics but are of little help with data plotting, one of the key steps in the statistical analysis process. By using computers in basic statistics courses, we can present students with real data sets and problems and teach them how to approach and analyze data. In this paper, the basic steps in the statistical analysis process are listed, and this paper, the basic steps in the statistical analysis process are listed, and the important role that computers can play in some of these steps is emphasized.
