Volume 0 · the intuition layer

Every idea in statistics is something you already do without noticing.

Twelve short sessions, no algebra, one everyday metaphor each — a tasting spoon, a bathroom scale, a smoke alarm, a fishing net. Every session ends with the picture, the mistake it prevents, and the exact clicks that run it in SPSS, jamovi and R. Read this before day 1 and the whole course changes character.

Now the real thing

Day 1 of Volume 1 starts where session 1 did — population and sample — and then goes properly. When a day says \u201Crun this\u201D, the software reference has the click-path for SPSS, jamovi, R and, for qualitative work, NVivo.
