Re: Counting Statistics

["x" <netngatr@magnolia.net>]

Tim,

I've got a lesson plan that that explains in some depth about counting
statistics, to a technician level.  I haven't had it peer reviewed, but it
seems to work ok for my technicians.  I wrote it to allow a new hire
technician with no statistics background self-study and pass a comprehensive
exam afterward.

The references I reviewed were the ones listed in the radsafe archives:
turner's third edition, nureg 4007, nureg 1507 chapter 3, cember second
edition, gollnick, cartoon guide to statistics, DOE Training Material
(http://cted.inel.gov/cted/eh_mat.html ),  Tried to review Brodsky, but
couldn't follow it.  Let me know if you'd like a copy.

If anyone out there could review it and make suggestions or corrections, it
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
