Against All Odds II: Inside Statistics This video series shows students the relevance of statistics in real-world settings.
A video instructional series on statistics for college and high school classrooms and adult learners; 32 6- to 14-minute video modules and coordinated guides.
Picking up where the original Against All Odds I left off in the 1980s, the new series maintains the same emphasis on “doing” statistics. Each unit is based on a video module that introduces a statistical topic in real-world context and takes you on location to where people from all walks of life are using statistics in their work. Starting with descriptive statistics, the course continues through probability and inference. Examples range from finding patterns in lightning strikes, to examining possible genetic resistance to deadly Lassa fever in West Africa, to linking DDT to the decline of peregrine falcons. Online interactive tools allow students to practice and use whey they’ve learned.
NOTICE: The original 30-minute Against All Odds I programs are no longer available. We regret the inconvenience.
Course Overview: The new Against All Odds II is intended as a one-year introduction to statistics. Made up of vivid real-world examples, our goal is to present statistics in the context of its contemporary use. Host Dr. Pardis Sabeti guides viewers through the wide range of statistical applications used by scientists, business owners, and even Shakespeare scholars, in their work and daily lives.
Starting with descriptive statistics, the series continues through probability and inference. Each unit builds on preceding ones to expand students’ statistical knowledge and solidify their understanding of how the concepts fit together. Statistical case studies range from finding patterns in lightning strikes, to linking DDT to the decline of peregrine falcons, to analyzing salaries to lobby for comparable pay for men and women. After watching the videos, viewers can dig deeper on the coordinated materials on the website, which features additional content coverage, as well as interactive tools to explore and exercises and review questions to work through.
Against All Odds takes you inside statistics!
