General Statistics

An introduction to general statistics with a focus on statistical inference. All technical terms are defined in easy to understand language; plus, definitions, important formulas, and summaries of statistical tests are set off in boxes for quick reference. Concepts are introduced and reinforced with examples and exercises from a wide range of fields from sports to medicine. This edition continues to focus on more use of exploratory data analysis (EDA). Techniques of EDA, such as stem-and-leaf plots or box plots, are used to determine which statistical methods are appropriate in different situations.
