This laboratory manual is designed to accompany introductory statistics courses with the use of Statcato, a free software application for elementary statistics. It covers the major topics of such courses with detailed instructions on conducting statistical analysis using Statcato. Each lab consists of (1) using a published data set, generating random data, or collecting sample data from the student’s world, (2) using tools in Statcato to perform statistical analysis, and (3) interpreting computer-generated results and drawing conclusions.
This manual follows the structure of and incorporates modules from the book Collaborative Statistics, an open educational resource developed by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean (available at http://cnx.org/content/col10522/latest).
