Reading guides for instructors, book clubs, etc.

I want to point your attention to recent coverage of Numbers Rule Your World in Chance News. If you are using my book for class or a book club, their writeups act well as reading guides for several chapters.

Notes on Chapter 1 (ramp meters)

Notes on Chapter 3 (hurricanes, test bias) and Chapter 4 (drug testing)

Chance News has been an extremely valuable resource for statistics teachers for years. They pick up news stories and interesting items, ask intriguing questions but don't offer answer keys. Most of the questions are open-ended, which is as most statistics questions are. We owe much gratitude to the volunteers who have kept the site alive all these years.
