Primer of Statistics

Palin Elderton W., M. Elderton Ethel

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This primer is the result. It goes forth on its important errand of familiarizing educated persons with the most recent developments of the new school of statistics, and, I beg to be allowed to add, with my heartiest good wishes for its success.

my Herbert S of beforepencer lecture the niversity of O xford I expressed a belief that the elementary ideas on which the modern sy stem of s atistics depend that the quality of the results to which they lead and that the meaning of the uncouth word s used in their description admitted of much simpler explanation than usual I sketched o ut a possible course lectures to be accompanied with certain simple sortings with obj ect lessons and with diagrams F inally I expressed the hope that some competent teacher would elaborate a course of instruction on these lines I entertain a strong belief that such a course would be of gre t service to those who are interested in statistics but who from want of mathematical aptitudes and special study are unable to comprehend the results arrived at even as regards their own s bj ects I t is for example a great hindrance to have no knowledge of what is meant by correlation
