ABSTRACT

Observing patterns of use in everyday life allows for the illustration of many statistical concepts. We will show several photographs with analysis demonstrating the statistical concepts of discrete probability distributions, cumulative probability distributions, normal distributions, skewed distributions, bivariate distributions, multimodal distributions and regression. You may leave this talk looking at the world in a different way.
