Proposed Schedule for Statistic*
) 30 August 1956
/7L7-
10 As promised byearly Saptember, I as forwarding copies of
tb&I schedule which I propose for the sondect of an internal course
for ORR personnel dealing with basin and elementary statistics, to
be called Mandling Quantitative Data."
lad appreciate your obtaining reactions to the course
-eatedby the topical listings and periods allocated) from
25X1 division *bias, and other interested parties
25X1 sath I welcome aey modifications which will better
Incidentally* I 114111 favorably assisted by Dale
regarding needs la Si3.o/104 session I had with his and
expect to profit by sabsewmAtemmsions directed toward obtaining tailor-
made exercises as this coursetbriallops. Particularly will I need his
help on the design of an "(ER prdblem, for which I have tentatively
allowed the.. glass sessions at the emd of the course.
3. I propose 30 sessiona? mornings
from 0930 to 1100. As principal insWrntor, I welco e arrCAA teach-
ing assistance. It is pr plan to entlee OTR, to handle
the simple sampling theory and thus serve as a logical introduction to
an advanced program in statistics and sampling that ORR may contemplate.
For more nethmeatieallyedirectetsampling methods or statistical tech-
niques, Sam is well qualiftmiand has instructing experience.
4 As for the beginning sOirse, I view it as a bit heavier con-
ceptually, and lighter computationally, than the traditional elemen-
tary statistics course. Those of your staff alth some statistical
sophistication will profit from it, but not to the degree that a tyro
will. I shall appreciate revieeing the qualification', of those nomi-
nated 0 attend, to familiarize myself eith their statistical background.
5. As earlier mentioned, I look forward to receipt of suggestions
and comments.
