Who said statistics had to be limited to Excel, TI-89 calculators, and modern computers?
I'm challenging myself to make a four-chapter outline for statistics (which is part of a psych research methods course but encompasses nearly a semester's worth of stats) this week. So far I have the first chapter mostly done and will be working on one per night except for tomorrow night, when I have will a paper to complete for another class and on Wednesday, when I will complete two chapters.
The equipment being used?
-Mac LC 10/40
-System 7.1
-MacWrite Pro
-MacDraw II
-Claris Resolve
-Kid Pix (if needed)
-LaserWriter 4/600
-CD 300e drive loaded with quality music
I am using a newer calculator alongside this, but only to perform basic arithmetic calculations (addition, subtraction, etc) so that I can see the data I entered. (It's a TI-89). However, I'm using it like it's a TI-81--I'm not even using the stats functions on there. In fact, I just found a variance by hand about a half hour ago.
The big challenge here is the graphs. Resolve is somewhat limited as far as graph construction goes, but I'm finding ways around those limitations.
The test is on Friday. Given the study guide I am making and the fun I am having with an old friend (I've had this LC since I was five) I expect to max it.
Hopefully I don't work the Mac too hard...10MB for a study guide like the one I'm making is going to be cutting it tight, but I'll manage somehow. (One document per chapter may be what I will have to do).
I should also point out that I have used this LC at five different education levels: Preschool, Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and College. (Is that a record?) Someday when I work on a Master's, I hope to add a sixth level to this computer's resume. (I've also used a IIe for productive work in three different decades--80s, 90s, 00s--and wish to add a fourth to that one as well).
