Description
This text encourages hands-on exploration of statistical concepts so that students take an active part in the learning process. With a strong emphasis on data analysis, the book seeks to make students better consumers of statistics, and to give them the skills to design and execute experiments in an undergraduate research class. Statistical concepts are presented and reinforced with activities - to be done in small groups or individually - that make the concepts clear. Features include: intractive exercises built into the text; real data in the exercises and examples; a first chapter highlighting themes; early coverage of sampling and experiment design; and integrated use of graphing calculator to reinforce.
