Synopsis

This textbook aims to meet the requirements of A Level statistics, both as a subject in its own right and as a part of mathematics. It provides interesting contexts and potted biographies of significant mathematicians. Many worked examples and exercises are provided, alongside 80 projects which aim to give students the confidence to put their theory into practice. The book also offers a thorough introduction to the subject for students in higher education who need a grounding in statistics related to other disciplines.

About this title

Review

This is a most enjoyable text to read. The authors have not seen any need to equate mathematical rigour with dullness. (Teaching Statistics)

From the Author

Introductory Statistics courses
Teachers of introductory first-year courses in Statistics at University or College level should give Understanding Statistics a glance --- although aimed at the A level market it has, I believe, a wider use.
