Statistics

Statistics: Concepts and Applications is a 'classical' general statistics text written in modern voice. The authors bring mathematical, theoretical and conceptual integrity to a body of topics and techniques that is appropriate to a first course in statistics and do so in a way that is accessible to students whose mathematical preparation does not go beyond the standard curriculum for college algebra. The informal, conversational prose delivers conceptual richness and advances a quiet subtext of mathematics instruction that achieves a high level of mathematical rigour. The text presents a thorough, step-by-step development of fundamental principles. Statistics: Concepts and Applications is backed by a package of ancillary materials: an instructor's manual with full solutions to exercises, rather than just answers, and an inexpensive supplementary workbook and tutorial ('User-Friendly') with remarkably powerful and easy-to-use DOS-compatible computer software package (ASP).
