Description
An introduction to statistics for beginners. This text uses over 2100 examples drawn from health care, business and economics, the social and physical sciences, engineering and education to demonstrate the usefulness of statistical analysis techniques in tackling problems. Minicases are included, providing real-world examples of statistical applications - these can be used to stimulate class discussions. This edition includes a chapter on quality control, which introduces several types of quality control procedures and charts that are important for industry. Examples of how computer statistical software packages may be used to eliminate computational drudgery and support analysis and decision-making efforts are integrated throughout the text. A computer exercise section at the end of each chapter gives students further practice in using statistical software.
