The following data sets have been submitted by members of the SBI listserve.

• Hope College students (in 2003) were wondering if there are any gender differences when it comes to how long people talk on their cell phone. They asked a sample of other students and asked them their gender (0=female, 1=male) and how long their last cell phone call was as measured in seconds (they could find this data recorded on the phone). Dealing with the outlier in this data set makes it interesting.  cellphonedata

For more immediate conversations about these issues, also consider joining the Simulation-Based Inference Listserv. The SBI mailing list  is intended for individuals interested in discussing pedagogical issues related to using simulation-based inference techniques (e.g., randomization tests) in introductory statistics courses as the primary introduction to statistical inference. For more information or to subscribe, go to https://www.causeweb.org/mailman/listinfo/sbi.

We are looking for individuals/institutions willing to give common assessment items during Winter/Spring 2015.

• Pre/Post attitude surveys (SATS)
• Pre/Post concept inventory (modeled after CAOS and GOALS)
• Embedded multiple choice exam questions (Unit 1: One Proportion, Unit 2: Two Proportions and/or Two Means)

We will send you names of students who participated (if you want to give course credit) as well as a report at the end of the term with your student results and comparison results. For more information, please contact Cindy Nederhoff <Cindy.Nederhoff@dordt.edu>.
