Statistician Strikes Back, The

Synopsis: Looks at how the modern statistician works, addressing the slightly sour public perception of statistics. The programme follows a statistician researching the background to a new report, revealing the data sources on which a working statistician might call, e.g. government reports in libraries and computer databases, and the graphical methods that could be employed, including histograms, bar charts and boxplots.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
