Beschreibung
This new version of Statistics: Concepts and Controversies fits the current teaching environment while continuing to present statistics to “nonmathematical” readers as an aid to clear thinking in personal and professional life. With many elementary graphical and numerical techniques to give flesh to ideas and muscle to the reasoning, students learn to think about data by working with data. The textbook is made to teach verbally rather than algebraically, to invite discussion and even argument rather than mere computation. It is organised for systematic study and has abundant exercises, many of which ask students to offer a discussion or make a judgment.
This practical textbook by David Moore and William Notz introduces a conceptual approach to statistics and shows students how use these ideas to think about the statistical claims they see every day from polls, campaigns, advertising, public policy, and many different fields of study.
The ultimate goal is to equip students with solid statistical reasoning skills that will help them understand impact of statistics on all aspects of their lives.
