Description

The book leverages contemporary technology, such as computer software and interactive visual aids, to simplify statistical reasoning and the understanding of statistical data. It targets the conventional introductory probability and statistics market. The authors demonstrate how to use statistical procedures, but they also go over how to meaningfully describe actual sets of data, what the results of statistical tests mean in terms of real-world applications, how to assess the reliability of the assumptions underlying statistical tests, and what to do when statistical assumptions are broken. The new edition maintains the statistical rigour, examples, exercises, and exposition that have established this text as a market leader while also advancing this longstanding heritage of excellence through the incorporation of modern technology.
