Abstract:
This paper describes an Open University course entitled: MDST 242: Statistics in Society. This course will be available to Open University students for up to 10 years starting in February 1983. However, in addition to being anecdotal and specific, the paper also raises general issues and questions concerning the teaching of statistical methods to nonspecialists.
