SynopsisStatistics is written in clear, everyday language, without the equations that sometimes baffle non-mathematical readers. The goal is teaching students how to think about statistical issues., Statistics in unusual in its emphasis on the models that underlie statistical inference. The authors make the models comprehensible and show why choosing the wrong model can lead students astray. Carefully constructed exercises in every chapter offer practice in computational skills. Other call for rough estimates and qualitative judgments, so students are forced to come to grips with the concepts instead of mechanically applied formulas. Most sections close with an exercise set; the answers are in the back of the book, often with complete solutions. Chapters also have review exercises, without answers, for homework and tests. Illustrations are in integral part of the exposition. Beginners learn how to read histograms and scatterplots and how to think about these graphics in the context of real problems.

Excellent intro stats book in good condition
I loved this book in college and bought it again as an entry-level reference in grad school. In college, I sat in a bad stats lecture every class and read this book instead of following the professor. It's well-written and fairly narrative in style, filled with tangible examples and plenty of practice problems, and comprehensive for intro-level statistics from experimental design through chi-squared and other tests of significance.This copy arrived in good condition and on time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A clear introduction to the ideas and applications of statistics.
This book provides develops statistics through clear examples and crystal-clear explanations. As you read through it, you feel much like when reading a good, insightful novel - you grasp the underlying ideas and dynamics of the subject. For example, I had never fully appreciated that a histogram is all about the area within the bars, just like a normal curve, until I read this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
