Abstract

Abstract Because of the modest mathematical background of most students, there are major difficulties in teaching basic statistical concepts in undergraduate statistical courses in geography. This paper describes statistical experiments in which students can participate, which may be supplemented by computer results. The objective is to show how greater rigour may be brought to undergraduate course‐work with little or no increase in mathematical formality. The sampling distributions of test statistics in point pattern analysis are used as illustration.
