Statistics:Concepts and Applications

A sense of humor, boxes on applications, interviews with professionals who use statistics, and b&w photos and drawings enliven this introductory text. Emphasizing rigorous treatment of topics that usually cause difficulty for students, such as sampling, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing, the text is cross-referenced with icons and key terms, and incorporates a global perspective. Includes a glossary, data and statistical tables, problems and answers, and a pocket guide with statistical tables, formulas, and definitions. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
