Inhaltsangabe

Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning From Data, 5th Edition helps you understand what statistics is all about and learn the right questions to ask when analyzing data, instead of just memorizing procedures. It makes accessible the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science of modern life, without compromising essential material. Students often find this book enjoyable to read and stay engaged with the wide variety of real-world data in the examples and exercises. Based on the authors' belief that it's important for you to learn and analyze both quantitative and categorial data, this text pays greater attention to the analysis of proportions than many other introductory statistics texts.

Key features include:

• Greater attention to the analysis of proportions compared to other introductory statistics texts.
• Introduction to key concepts, presenting the categorical data first, and quantitative data after.
• A wide variety of real-world data in the examples and exercises
• New sections and updated content will enhance your learning and understanding.
