Under the classical approach, there is no probability associated with a parameter, and the meaning of confidence intervals can be misconstrued by inexperienced students. With Bayesian statistics, one can find the posterior probability distribution of an unknown parameter, and state the probability of vaccine efficacy rate, which makes the communication of uncertainty more flexible. We use a hypothetical example and a real baseball example to guide readers to learn the beta-binomial model before analyzing the clinical trial data.

Michael Anthony Lewis’s book is a testament that this effort is succeeding. Lewis is a social worker and sociologist with an impressive resume, author of Economics for Social Workers, co-editor of The Ethics and Economics of the Basic Income Guarantee, and member of the faculty at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and the City University of New York Graduate Center. Although explicitly targeted to social work students and professionals, the nine chapters here provide a good quantitative literacy education accessible to the general public and include a great many of the topics one would find in a \"standard\" quantitative literacy text written by a mathematician. The examples, despite being rooted in social work, are interesting and relevant to those outside that discipline, and speak to Lewis’s breadth of knowledge and the skill of being able to make connections between different types of knowledge and evidence that is inherent in being a numerate person.","PeriodicalId":36166,"journal":{"name":"Numeracy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41909026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distance education system is one of the solutions to overcome difficulties in face-to-face learning with the existence of social distancing rules which are a major obstacle today. Mobile Learning ( M-Learning) is a distyance paradigm utilizing mobile technology and devices which are predicted to experience rapid and potential development along with the development of mobile technologiitself. M-Learning is a distance leaning medium that is easy and often used. This study aims to see the effectiveness of derivative learning using M-Learning media in terms of student learning outcomes. The research model used in this study was a quasi experiment using a one group pretest postest design. The research sample was students in semester 2 who took calculus courses. The sample data were processed by descriptive analysis and test the difference in the average learning outcomes. The results showed that calculus courses with derivative materials using M-Learning media were quite effective when viewed from the student learning outcomes.
