Stat 1350, Suggested Video Lectures, Summer 2014
The following list of video lectures is suggested for answering the discussion questions assigned to
students for each lecture period. The list is not exhaustive. A quick search of search engines (Google,
Yahoo, etc.) or video sites (YouTube, iTunes, etc.) is likely to more useful sources. However, this list,
together with the textbook and supplied notes, should help you get started answering the questions.
General Statistics Video Lectures
 Against All Odds: Inside Statistics http://www.learner.org/courses/againstallodds/
 Statistics 20 https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=FCCED623A3AB020F (this is more
mathematically advanced; use with caution)
 Statistics 2 https://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/statistics-2-001-fall2009/id354822870?mt=10#ls=1
 Probability and Statistics http://oli.cmu.edu/courses/free-open/statistics-course-details/

Suggested Starting Points
For each lecture, I’ll suggest a particular video or set of videos to start with. You should watch these,
and then if you need additional information and can’t find it in the books, then you can use the links
above to search for more information. The dates on the calendar are due dates. They are not dates
that you are to begin the assignment. If you find there is too much to do in the middle of the week, I
suggest viewing videos ahead of schedule.
