My current resources include:
Against All Odds (video series)
Life by the Numbers (video series)
Struck by Lightning (book)
Naked Statistics (book)
Hey #MathEd folks,
I'm looking for resources to supplement my #stats class - videos, articles, etc. that:
-provide real-world examples of the concepts in action
-discuss the development of concepts/tools
-describe concepts and tools in intuitive or animated ways
-etc.

Relevance is often found simply in what inspires curiosity

If I'm being generous, it seems like there's a disconnect over the definition of "discovery."

Empirically using Google Sheets, none of the first 1000 triangle sides line up.

Here are some problems I've used.

Whenever rich men known to be liars—and exactly the sort of people who'd never give up any power granted to them—claim that they're telling the truth and are extremely willing to give up any power granted to them, there's something endemic in major media that seems predisposed to accept such claims.

If there's ~40% likelihood for each of two independent events, then there IS ~65% chance that _at least one_ will succeed.
Do they need to satisfy both to be "successful"?

In our Precalc class, we're always trying to circle back to Alg2 topics, and this tied in well with the methods we used to solve and understand quadratic equations/functions.
It's certainly not the most efficient way, but:
a) using the quadratic, it shows that there can be at most 2 solutions
b) the solutions to the quadratic (here, 5+-sqrt(6)) have geometric meaning, whether positive, negative, or unreal
