Case Study: Using Stents to Prevent Strokes

Subscribe to OpenIntroOrg! This video was created by OpenIntro (openintro.org) and provides an overview of the content in Section 1.1 of OpenIntro Statistics, which is a free statistics textbook with a $10 paperback option on Amazon. Section 1.1 introduces a classic challenge in statistics: evaluating the efficacy of a medical treatment. Terms in this section, and indeed much of this chapter, will all be revisited later in the text. The plan for now is simply to get a sense of the role statistics can play in practice.
