With that said, OP was also asking for motivational stuff as well. Having given college freshman their first intro to stats in the past, I know how hard is to get them engaged in it, and I'm hoping that people seeing my answer will encourage people to be more creative about providing big picture ideas and applications that help make the statistics more engaging to students. | |

Your graphic doesn't do anything for me but illustrate that data on species occurrence and environmental predictors allow predictions of suitability, which is fine by me (I've done analyses of this kind myself). The graphic is pleasant but no more, so sorry, but you've not shifted my view (or as yet got any upvotes either). | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 13:00 | comment | added | anjama | @NickCox The OP asked for an image showing a statistics concept (no mention of actual topic), and preferred something that would be motivating. Is building a model not a statistics concept? Perhaps not a basic one, like a t-test or the central limit theorem, but I would certainly consider it one. And as a more big picture concept, it might be more motivating for students just starting statistics by showing them what they will eventually be able to accomplish. I'm literally saying they can use statistical models to discover new species; try making a t-test that interesting for students. | |
