"Helping students make sense of data will serve them well in life and in any field they might choose. Our goal in writing this book is to help students understand, appreciate, and use the power of statistics and to help instructors teach an outstanding course in statistics. The text is designed for use in an introductory statistics course. The focus throughout is on data analysis and the primary goal is to enable students to effectively collect data, analyze data, and interpret conclusions drawn from data. The text is driven by real data and real applications. Although the only prerequisite is a minimal working knowledge of algebra, students completing the course should be able to accurately interpret statistical results and to analyze straightforward datasets. The text is designed to give students a sense of the power of data analysis; our hope is that many students learning from this book will want to continue developing their statistical knowledge"-- Provided by publisher.
