David S. Moore Knihy

With its focus on data analysis, statistical reasoning, and the way statisticians work, this book aims to help revolutionize the way statistics are taught in the classroom. It also includes a companion website, which contains quizzes, study guides, images from the text and further resources for both students and instructors.

"For liberal arts students, statistics may seem like a foreign language. By emphasizing concepts and statistical thinking over punching numbers into a calculator, and by focusing on real sources from campaign claims to scientific studies, Statistics: Concepts and Controversies helps students understand just how much statistical analysis has to say about their lives and the world around us. Now, this classic bestseller--the first to feature on David Moore's "data analysis" approach--returns in a thoroughly contemporary new edition, better equipped than ever to provide students with a solid understanding of statistical concepts, an eye for analyzing published data, and an appreciation of statistic's relevance to everyday life."--Publisher's description.

[This book] is an introduction to statistics for students in two-year and four-year colleges and universities that emphasizes working with data and statistical ideas. It is designed to be accessible to students with limited quantitative background - just "algebra" in the sense of being able to read and use simple equations. The book is usable with almost any level of technology for calculating and graphing - from a simple "two-variables statistics" calculator through a graphing calculator or spreadsheet program through full statistical software.-To the instructor.
