The Appendix also describes the purpose and contents of the associated JSE Information Service. Joan Garfield will be abstracting information from the literature on teaching and learning statistics, while Laurie Snell will be summarizing resources from the news and other media that may be used with students to provoke discussions or serve as a basis for classroom activities or student projects. Guidelines for submitting datasets and articles to this section are discussed. Instructions are provided for retrieving data from the JSE data archives. The 93CARS dataset contains information on 93 new cars for the 1993 model year.
Measures given include price, mpg ratings, engine size, body size, and indicators of features.
The 26 variables in the dataset offer sufficient variety to illustrate a broad range of statistical techniques typically found in introductory courses.
