The study of statistics allows the student to understand how to sample a population, test a hypothesis using this sample, check for and/or allow for biases within the population to gain meaningful results. It also allows the student to check the validity of the information constantly provided in today's society.

Some great thoughts for homeschoolers.

Homeschooling in Action

What we want to see is the child in pursuit of knowledge, not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
- George Bernard Shaw

Homeschooling in Action

When they learn in their own way and for their own reasons, children learn so much more rapidly and effectively than we could possibly teach them, that we can afford to throw away our curricula and our timetables, and set them free, at least most of the time, to learn on their own.
- Holt

When you make the finding yourself - even if you are the last person on Earth to see the light - you will never forget it.
- Carl Sagan
