Chris Wild’s second talk on informal statistical inference given at Statistics Teachers’ Day, Tāmaki Campus, University of Auckland on 25 November 2008. This talk differs from the previous version only in that the animations were redone and several new types of animation were added, including a way of representing box plots in repeated sampling that retains a memory of all of the box plots that have gone before.
