It is well written and designed to help students gain a solid understanding of fundamental statistical principles without bogging them down with excess mathematical details. This edition features many examples and problems that have been updated with more recent data sets, and continues to use the ever-changing Internet as a data source. Supplemental materials include companion website with datasets and software.
