Teaching Statistics and Statistical Literacy

Didaktik in Forschung und Praxis

In real-world environments we are faced with large amounts of information that is found in newspapers, in magazines, on television, on the Internet, and elsewhere, and that is often presented in the form of tables or graphs.

Nowadays knowledge of statistics is becoming a functional…

Statistical Literacy Among Secondary School Students

Achieving a Higher Level of Statistical Literacy

Studien zur Schulpädagogik

The statistical education should be in step with modern didactic trends, which recommend the use of statistics in relation to everyday life and thus develop and improve statistical literacy. But as statistics is made part of mathematics instruction, solving statistical problems tends to be dominated by mathematical thinking, emphasizing mathematical models, methods and procedures, with the techniques being more important than the statistical problem itself. There is not…

Quantitative Film Studies

Regularities and Interrelations Exemplified by Shot Lengths in Soviet Feature Films

Schriften zur Medienwissenschaft

In statistical film analysis it is a common observation that shot length frequencies are not distributed haphazardly, but according to a particular pattern. Taking this as a starting point, the monograph focuses on two main questions. The first one is: Are shot lengths in Soviet feature films distributed regularly, and can these distributions be interpreted within a larger theoretical framework? The second question is: Is shot length an isolated entity in film or is it…

Biological dynamics of the Lutheran population in the 19th and early 20th centuries

In Germany they were members of different local churches. On coming to the Poznan province, they brought with them religious practices characteristic of the various German states and regions. Moreover, their cultural heterogeneity and the proximity of Catholics could facilitate…

Quadratic Variation of Financial Asset Prices

Theoretical Approaches and Empirical Evidence on Power Derivatives

Schriftenreihe innovative betriebswirtschaftliche Forschung und Praxis

Financial asset prices differ not only in their level and trajectory, but also in their magnitude and type of variability within trading periods. As financial agents require quantifying the price variability of a financial asset over a certain period of time in many risk- and valuation-related applications, it is crucial to reflect appropriate concepts which provide an accurate picture of the variability exposure. The scientific elaboration of an adequate concept in light…
