Re: [Marxism] Statistics for students

["Politicus E." <epoliticus@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate-level econometrics
courses, I would use "Chance News" during discussions. According to
their website:

"Chance News is a newsletter that reviews articles in the news that
use probability or statistical concepts (chance news). It is aimed at
helping the general public better understand current chance news and
assisting teachers of probability and statistics who want to liven up
their courses by using current chance news. From 1992 to 2004 Chance
News appeared on this Chance website."

It was published by J. Laurie Snell and Peter Doyle of Dartmouth
College, Joan Garfield of the University of Minnesota, Tom Moore of
Grinnell College, Bill Peterson of Middlebury College, and Ngambal
Shah of Spelman College.
