Description
For an undergraduate-level first course in Applied Statistics that emphasizes statistical inference.
Unique in approach, this practical introduction to statistical inference 1) uses only college algebra, 2) gets into inference within the first 10 pages using popular examples that students encounter every day in newspapers and on television, and 3) emphasizes and covers statistical inference for population proportions in much greater depth than other texts at this level. It features an abundance of examples, problems, and clear computational procedures, and provides a brief introduction to Minitab - with sample data, (on disk) commands, macros (on disk), and printed output.
