Lady Tasting Tea - Inferential Statistics and Experimental Design

Take a trip back in time to learn about the world of inferential statistics. This short video, based upon a true story in 1920s Cambridge, England, explains how a tea-drinking British lady inspired Sir Ronald A. Fisher, one of the early giants of statistics, to think about probability. The video was developed for Research II: Applications (CCLD 323), an online course offered at Ryerson University, with the subject matter expertise of Dr. Michael Mueller.

Produced by Digital Education Strategies at The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education, Ryerson University.
