No, Wikipedia isn't a proper resource for our students to cite. But it is not without merit. For example, I think the information it provides on Anscombe's quartet is very useful. This example provides four data distributions. For each, the means and variances for both the X and Y variables are identical. The correlations between X and Y, and the regression lines, are also identical. This is the descriptive/inferential data that applies to each of the four graphs I have seen variations upon this in textbooks over the years, but typically they just show how different distributions can have the same mean and standard deviation. I think this example goes the extra mile by including r and the regression line. How to use in class: -Graphs aren't for babies. They can be an essential part of understanding your data. -Outliers are bad! -The original data is also included at the Wikipedia entry if you would like your students to create these graphs in class.
