Statistical Methods

This text uses a student-friendly, conversational tone to explain core statistical concepts in a way that students can readily understand. After concepts and skills are introduced and demonstrated, students are given a hands-on opportunity to work with the concepts and practice their newly acquired skills with Your Turn exercises. Each chapter begins with a careful explanation of the statistical concepts relevant to that chapter. Following the explanation of concepts are examples that illustrate their applications. An extensive instructor’s guide provides answers to the exercises.
