Synopsis

An excellent new text which meets the A-level requirements of Statistics as a subject in its own right and as a part of Mathematics. Also a very thorough introduction to the subject for students in higher education who need a grounding in Statistics related to other disciplines. The book is written in a friendly style, with lively text, interesting contexts, and potted biographies of significant mathematicians. A huge number of worked examples and exercises, and over 80 projects, give students the confidence to put theory into practice.

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.
