Abstract
During World War II there was a statistical analysis conducted by the Allied analysts to estimate the German war productions, including their tank productions. This article revisits the analysis of the tank productions as a classroom activity format. Various reformed ideas are proposed in order to enhance students' perspectives of the point estimation. Comprehensive simulation works and actual classroom discussions will be provided along with the theoretical investigations.
