Synopsis

The book contains hundreds of engaging, class-tested statistics exercises (and detailed solutions) that test students’ understanding of the material. Many are educational in their own right―for example, baseball managers who played professional ball were often catchers; stocks that are deleted from the Dow Jones Industrial Average have generally done better than the stocks that replaced them; athletes may not get hot hands but they often get warm hands with modest improvements in their success probabilities.
