ReplyDelete- We thought that the video provided a good exapmle of how statistics and graphs can be used to show global progression and comparassion.
The gapminder website would be very useful but I doubt the general population would use it to its full extent. It could also put statisticians out of a job.

If the chimpanzees are, on average, as smart as the Swedish professors, then how can we be sure that Hans Rosling is actually smarter as well?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a very interesting video and we agree with Hans Rosling's idea to publicize the statistical data. Aarika and Allan

He was very passionate about his field. Freely accesible data is an ambitious ambition and would be very useful, but probably would be under-utilized by our age group.
ReplyDeleteHe had a cool accent.

We believe the lecture was interesting because the data changed so much over time.
ReplyDeleteTrent and Megan
The lecture that we watched, was very interesting, because the data was applicable to real life. Also, the fact that the instructor was excited made it enjoyable to watch.
