Introduction to Statistical Reasoning

A well-respected author of numerous textbooks and scholarly articles, Gary Smith has written an engaging introductory textbook that focuses on the analysis of data and the interpretation of results rather than the traditional computational methods of statistics. Designed for the non-major, one-semester course, Introduction to Statistical Reasoning focuses on real-world examples, exercises, and applications from a broad range of disciplines, and encourages the use of calculators and computers to perform computations.
