Abstract
Abstract On the first day of class, in addition to introducing the concepts of probability and statistics, and giving an overview of what the students will learn during the term, we include class-participation demonstrations and examples. Then we start with descriptive statistics, as discussed in the next chapter. We often begin the first class with an activity on variation, such as the age-guessing demonstration or the cancer example described here. In the first week, we also discuss numeracy, address the question of why statistics is important, and collect data on students to use later in the course. We like to get students involved right away and set the expectation for plenty of class participation.
