Session 1: Wrap-up Session 1: Wrap-up Session 1: Wrap-up Session 1: Wrap-up The Uses and Misuses of Statistics 1: Sampling 7 lectures 28:48 The Basics of Sampling In this lecture I go over the basic types of sampling, highlighting how even the gathering of data involves human judgement. Selection Bias What is selection bias? In this lecture I explain what it means and give you some common examples. Sample Size In this lecture I talk about the importance of sample size when trying to draw conclusions from data. Dubious Definitions and Questionable Categories Here we look at how the way in which statistics are defined and categorized can alter the conclusions. If at First You Don't Succeed... Multiple Sampling Didn't get the answer you wanted? Try again! In this lecture we discuss multiple sampling.

An introduction to descriptive statistics. Beware of the Average How can averages be misleading? In this lecture we find out. Beware of the Point Estimate: Don’t Ignore Dispersion Point estimates may not always accurately represent the data - in this lecture we discuss some of the other thing to consider. Problematic Percentages Percentages are notoriously tricky - in this lecture we discuss the main things to look out for when being presented with percentages. Ignoring Scale: The Base Rate Fallacy In this lecture we discuss the base rate fallacy, a common pitfall in statistical thinking. Ignoring Context: Stats do Not Exist in a Vacuum No statistic can be fully understood without context - this lecture looks at the importance of not ignoring it. Units of Measurement and False Comparisons When interpreting any statistic it is important to be clear about what units are being used. Without that, you may fall victim to false comparisons.
