Description
This book helps students become statistically literate by encouraging them to ask and answer interesting statistical questions. It takes the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science in modern life and makes them accessible without compromising necessary rigor. Concepts are introduced first with categorical data, and then with quantitative data. The Third Edition has been edited for conciseness and clarity to keep students focused on the main concepts.
