EXCERPT: PREFACE - This book is a substantial revision of the first edition. Considerable portions of the text have been entirely rewritten with greater attention to clarity of exposition. Some new material has been added, such as stem-and-leaf diagrams. Chebyshev's Theorem, significance probability, paired t-tests, and prediction intervals. Certain topics have been reorganized to streamline the material and make it more teachable. A large number of drill exercises have been added in appropriate places to prepare the student to tackle word problems. Also, there are many new applied exercises, and the chapter tests have been expanded. An additional feature of this edition is the use of color to highlight important statements and results. More and more academic disciplines are requiring a course in introductory statistics. Statistical methodology has become an important component of scientific reasoning and the areas of its application are numerous. Statistical techniques are now employed in many fields such as engineering, education, agriculture, business, biology, medicine, fisheries, natural resources, geology, communications, psychology, and ecology. For this reason, the treatment in this book is not slanted toward any particular discipline but touches on diverse areas of interest in all walks of life. The student's acquaintance with the fundamentals of statistics developed here should provide a basis for studying specialized methods within his or her field. In preparing the second edition, the basic format of the book is left untouched, and the order of coverage is much the same as in the earlier edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
